I have /home/pubfolders2/dovecot-acl containing:

The file isn't read by 1.2.1. Upgrade.

Thanks Timo. I think the Wiki is misleading: it says (on page http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL):

"Dovecot v1.0 and v1.1 supports administrator-configured ACL files. v1.2+ supports also IMAP ACL extension..."

If 1.2.1 doesn't read the dovecot-acl file, how are ACLs configured in that version? Also, which from which version is the dovecot-acl file supported? There's no mention of it being version specific (other than

=v1.0) on the Wiki.

Thanks, Keith

[Sorry, sent to Timo at first attempt]

With older versions you'd have to put the dovecot-acl file to each maildir separately

Thanks, but it still isn't clear to me. I have (the same, hardlinked) dovecot-acl file in lots of different places:

# tree /home/pubfolders2/ -a /home/pubfolders2/ |-- .info | |-- cur | |-- dovecot-acl | |-- dovecot-shared | |-- new | | -- 1251457688.H922394P13547.magenta.tiger-computing.wbp | -- tmp |-- Maildir | -- dovecot-acl -- dovecot-acl

There isn't a 'maildir' folder as such for the public folders (I created the one shown above in desperation just to see if Dovecot would look there). Here's the dovecot.conf:

protocols = imap imaps disable_plaintext_auth = no log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S " namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace public { separator = / prefix = shared2/ location = maildir:/home/pubfolders2:INDEX=~/Maildir/public2 subscriptions = no list = children } mail_privileged_group = mail mail_access_groups = pubfolders2 protocol imap { mail_plugins = acl }

protocol pop3 { pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv } protocol managesieve { } auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root } dict { } plugin { acl = vfile }

That isn't working, so exactly where should the dovecot-acl file go for it to work?

Thanks, Keith

Do you have dovecot-acl-list file here? See if deleting it helps?

Yes I did; deleting it hasn't changed anything.

Thanks, Keith
