Dear All,
I am trying to use Public Folder feature of dovecot but
having some confusion with the configuration part as well as
understanding the same.
Here is output of doveconf -n which i think required to help me -
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
namespace {
inbox = yes
location =
prefix =
separator = .
type = private
}
namespace {
list = children
location = maildir:/var/mail/public
prefix = Public.
separator = .
subscriptions = no
type = public
}
plugin {
acl = vfile:/usr/local/dovecot/dovecot-acl/acl
}
after making this configuration i also created subfolder inside
/var/mail/public
which looks like following:-
mail1:~# less /var/mail/public/
dovecot-acl-list .Public/
mail1:~# less /var/mail/public/.Public/Maildir/
cur/ new/ tmp/
I have changed default permission to [ chown -R vmail:vmail /var/mail
] on base public folder.
Now I am able to see the public folder from webmail as well as from
thunderbird but no display for .Public folder.
I am expecting that .Public folder will be visible to all but no one
will be allowed to delete and make any change in that folder, I am
also using global ACL in my configuration.
Please let me know what i am doing wrong because not getting any error
in log, Correct me if i am understanding wrong.
Thanks
