[Dovecot] Sharing Folders - or views?
Hi All
Running Dovecot v1.0.3 on FC 6.
We have a Dovecot account which contains folders used by all staff.
Think of the account as "Customers" and the folders as "Customer-1", "Customer-2", "Customer-3" and so on.
We currently have around 650 of these customer folders.
The problem is that there are currently 12 members of staff who need to see a subset of these folders (i.e. the customers that they are the manager for) but who also need to see (sometimes) the entire range of customer folders.
Ideally what they would like to see is this kind of layout:
+Personal Folders Inbox Trash Copies
- My Customers Cust-1 Cust 7 Cust-25 Cust 33
- All Customers Cust-1 Cust-2 Cust-3 Cust-4 Cust-5 Cust-6 Cust-7 etc
I suppose we could achieve this with symlinks but thought I would ask in case there is a "clever" way to achieve the same end.
Thanks and Regards
Nigel.

Some future Dovecot version will hopefully have a better support for shared mailboxes, but for now symlinks are probably the best you can do.
Although the "All customers" could probably be done using a namespace for it: http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes
