Hi all,

I wanna to set up shared folders for a couple of users and I'd like that everyone could keep the \Seen flag as private. So if user #1 reads some messages and user #2 not, those messages appear as "unseen" to #2 and "seen" to #1.

I've implemented shared folders using namespaces with every user having their own "control" and "private" directories. But all the flags (\Seen included) are "shared".

Am I on the right path? Some tip or documentation?

Oh, I almost forgot: using dovecot 1.0.13 (from Debian Etch backports).

Thank you in advance!

From Timo, I wanted the same thing so I patch the source each time:

src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c

near line 428, change: mbox->ibox.box.private_flags_mask = MAIL_SEEN; to: mbox->ibox.box.private_flags_mask = 0;

Actually sorry, I might have gotten that backwards. You should be able to use the ACL plugin to disallow users to update Seen.

Thanks anyway :)

There's no problem in disallowing the users to update the Seen flag. What I want is that every user have their own Seen flags.

Timo and others will know more; but for me, I would just deliver the messages to multiple people and see that Dovecot deliver will use hardlinks for the multiple deliveries - that way, the message flags in the filename are still canonical.

Yes, it could be a solution. But our user's requirements are a bit of... strange? They want one of them to manage the folder (with subfolders) and the rest of them only can read messages.

Thanks anyway for your suggestion!

I updated http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes now to mention flag sharing.

Ah, great! Thank you very much, Timo!
