Well, I actually started it today since it's needed for replication: http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/6dd0c6755afe
Mailboxes can't be listed yet (and I'm not planning on implementing that anytime soon), but if you add the wanted mailboxes to subscriptions they should be usable by clients. Configuration goes like:
namespace shared { separator = / # %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can # also use %%n and %%d. prefix = shared/%%u/ location = Maildir:/home/%%u/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u }
Sounds great, and it's an essential feature we need to make Dovecot work with Kolab Server.
Is there a %%h, too? So that, if we have
mail_location = maildir:~
we can say:
namespace shared { separator = / prefix = users/%%u/ location = Maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u }
To make user-mailboxess accessible for other users? If not, how hard would it be to implement?
Another (more specific) problem in this context: Is is it possible to determine a users home calling an external program like checkpassword? This would be needed in an setup, where the users $HOME is set by an checkpassword program to an compute value, to access another users mailbox.
