and which is the value for the location directive in namespace declaration ??


namespace {
  list = children
  location = maildir:%%h/mailSubDir:INDEX=~/mailSubDIr/shared/%%u
  prefix = shared.%%u.
  separator = .
  subscriptions = no
  type = shared
}


with the above conf. no shared folders are seen by tests users and afaik %%h is retrieved from ldap.


this is that I had done until now:
