greetings ...
I got the following request from a customer where we run dovecot-2.3.15 on a debian server:
They have a public folder with all their project-related subfolders inside:
namespace {
location = maildir:/home/vmail/oeffentlich
prefix = Oeffentlich/
separator = /
subscriptions = yes
type = public
}
So far we don't have the mail_plugin ACL enabled.
They want to be able to create projectfolders that aren't move/delete/rename-able by the users, only by some admins.
But the users should be allowed to move mails between different projectfolders etc
As far as I understand we can do that with Dovecot ACLs (although I am still figuring out how to properly design them ...).
My questions:
- if I enable the mail_plugin for ACLs, does that in any way change the behavior of existing mailboxes?
afai understand: no. Only if ACL-lists exist in the various mailboxes, these get applied, right?
I don't want to break things, and I want to avoid additional complexity for the non-public user mailboxes etc
Maybe I can enable the plugin only for that public namespace?
- maybe someone has a link to a similar setup?
thanks in advance, Stefan

I tried to enable the acl plugin now, following
https://doc.dovecot.org/settings/plugin/acl/
I chose:
" plugin { # Without global ACLs: acl = vfile [..] } " # doveadm mailbox list -u myuser@domain.net
lists folder/mailbox "Oeffentlich"
but I get: # doveadm mailbox list -u myuser@domain.net
... "Error: Can't open mailbox Oeffentlich: Mailbox doesn't exist: Oeffentlich"
# ls -l /home/vmail/oeffentlich/
insgesamt 380
-rw------- 1 vmail vmail 0 Aug 2 19:40 dovecot-acl-list
If I turn off the ACL plugin, the folder and subfolders are there.
Setting also fails (executed as root):
# doveadm -Dv acl set "Oeffentlich" "myuser@domain.net" lookup read write write-seen write-deleted insert delete expunge create
... "Error: Can't open mailbox Oeffentlich: Mailbox doesn't exist: Oeffentlich"
It is located in " # ls -l /home/vmail/
insgesamt 160
[other domains]
drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 16384 Apr 21 2020 lost+found
drwx------ 3446 vmail vmail 135168 Aug 2 19:44 oeffentlich"
I also tried with "oeffentlich" .. lowercase.
pls advise ...

Wrong paste here, sorry.
I meant
doveadm -Dv acl get -u myuser@domain.net "Oeffentlich"
->
... "Error: Can't open mailbox Oeffentlich: Mailbox doesn't exist: Oeffentlich"

Additional info from the conf:
namespace {
type = private
separator = /
prefix =#location defaults to mail_location.
inbox = yes}
namespace {
type = public
separator = /
prefix = Oeffentlich/
location = maildir:/home/vmail/oeffentlich
subscriptions = yes}
That "subscriptions = yes" is different from the example at
https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/public_shared/...
(last block).

Hi,
i would suggest using 2.3.15 also for testing.
It seems to me that you are trying to use the namespace prefix itself as mailbox rather than an actual mailbox ("public.foo" for example).
Did you see these docs:
- https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/public_shared/...
- https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/Maildir/

Will do, thanks

Yes, that's also my assumption.
Did you see these docs:
Been there 10 times ;-) to recheck my settings.
not for a long time
How would I proceed to turn on ACLs for an existing public namespace? How to apply the "default" ACLs?
Create acl-files in all first level mailboxes?
There are ~5500 directories in there, I have to make sure to not break things.
The main goal is:
only allow some admins to create and rename project-mailboxes
the rest of the users should not be able to create/move/remove these mailboxes, but should be able to move mails between them
thanks
I now solved most of my problems here and have a test setup that does what it should do.
We only hit the issue that deleting a folder from the public namespace fails because of this issue:
https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-May/059315.html
That is 10 years old ... is there a valid solution maybe?
(yes, I will try to find something as well)
We currently use a global ACL file and have 3 users in with full "lrwstipekxa" permissions.
