[Dovecot] Bug: subscriptions file does not take on the same perms as dovecot-shared

[Damon Atkins]

*Timo,

*Config bit.

login_user: nobody
mail_location: maildir:~/.Maildir
namespace:
  type: private
  separator: /
  inbox: yes
  list: yes
  subscriptions: yes
namespace:
  type: public
  separator: /
  prefix: ~XX-Shared/
  location: maildir:/export/home/XX/.Maildir
  list: yes
  subscriptions: yes
auth default:
  passdb:
    driver: pam
  userdb:
    driver: passwd


I tried the subscription=no, the mail client Thunderbird no longer lists the ~XX-Shared folder

If subscription=no (and I get it working this way) if someone renames a folder, does everyone see the newly renamed folders?
 
The above was working well except for subscriptions file perms being changed, when the file is updated.

The aim is for ~XX-Shared/ to be listed as just another folder for those who have access and all of its sub folders.

Thanks
Damon.

Do you mean you share the subscriptions file between multiple users?
Wouldn't it be better for each user to have their own subscriptions (set
subscriptions=no to the shared namespace)?

dovecot-shared is supposed to affect a single mailbox's files, so I
don't really agree that it should affect subscriptions file.
