Hmm, okay... thanks. :-)

But this brings me to the following short question: is the 1.2 code stable enough to be used productive? And when do you think might the first stable release of the 1.2 come up?

I have a coding question again: I can obtain the path of the current user's mailbox with the function mail_storage_get_mailbox_path(...) - so far so good. But is it possible to get this mailbox path for another user than the logged in one?

Only with v1.2 code. There you can create multiple users with mail_user_init().

Well, that sounds good. If this version is stable enough and the beta will come soon, then it should be enough for us at the moment.

Perhaps you should know: we implement groupware servers for our customers, and we like dovecot because it is quite easy to implement multidomain virtual mailbox servers. But some of these customers want to use mailbox sharing (user driven). The groupware supports this, and my work is to implement a plugin for dovecot which provides this functionality. So we surely will try to do some testing of the 1.2 on our own and hopefully help the product to become stable soon.

So, I think we will try the 1.2... :-)

Thanks a lot for your advice! :-))

It should be pretty good, but I don't know if there are many real world users yet.

The first beta will be released soon, I'm just waiting for one thing. When the v1.2.0 final is released depends on how much people will test v1.2 and how many bugs they find.

Hello,

Yet I do not know, what functionality the 1.2 provides. In fact I just need an implementation of the 4 IMAP commands MYRIGHTS, GETACL, SETACL and DELETEACL and the ability for the user to share mailboxes himself by using these commands.

The groupware we distribute (Open-Xchange, perhaps you know it) implements this folder sharing by providing a context menu where the user can set the folder rights within his mailbox, and with this he can enable other users to access his folders.

The description of the ACL-feature in the table of 1.2 on the roadmap was not completely comprehendible for me, so I've been not quite sure, if dovecot can do these things above. But if you say, it can do, I would be able to stop the extra work and focus our work on building the mail system on basis of dovecot 1.2.

What do you think? :-)

Best regards Stefan

v1.2 already has most of the shared mailbox functionality implemented (although not really documented outside this mailing list). Do you need more than it provides?
