Hi,

I am using Dovecot and Sendmail ( as lmtp server )

I  would like to consider having some users using there emails and having their "private Ibox" ( I would say as a normal use )

and some users sharing their Inbox

1. Should I consider using and configure 2 different email servers ? ( one sharing the inbox of any users, the other one, not sharing the inbox...)  or I can have this config with the same email server ?

2. if so, how to tell Dovecot to get for user1 and user2 the same Inbox and (user3 and user4) Not sharing their inbox ?  - ... like private emails and a tech support, which should share the same folder

3. or Can I say : User1 -> User 4 have private emails Inbox.. but user3 and user4 are also sharing the same folder /var/spool/mail/support/  for example

I should admit that I don't know where to go :-(

Thanks for your help

I forgot to say. My current namspace is defined like this

namespace inbox { type = private disabled = no ignore_on_failure = no list = yes subscriptions = yes #hidden = no #inbox = yes #prefix = INBOX/

  # These mailboxes are widely used and could perhaps be created automatically:

  mailbox "Drafts" { auto = subscribe special_use = \Drafts } mailbox "Junk" { auto = subscribe autoexpunge = 12 weeks special_use = \Junk }

  mailbox "Trash" { auto = no autoexpunge = 12 weeks special_use = \Trash }

  # For \Sent mailboxes there are two widely used names. We'll mark both of # them as \Sent. User typically deletes one of them if duplicates are created. mailbox "Sent" { auto = subscribe special_use = \Sent }

mailbox virtual/All { # if you have a virtual “All messages” mailbox auto = no special_use = \All }

=> that's OK..

So, I 've added  this part

namespace { hidden = no ignore_on_failure = no inbox = no list = children #location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=%h/shared/%%u:CONTROL=%h/shared/%%u location = maildir:/var/spool/mail2/support prefix = shared.%%u. separator = . subscriptions = yes type = shared }

But it doesn't like this .. :-(
