[Dovecot] last hope... public namespace and directory structure

[Daniel Fischer]

Hello Timo,

Thanks for your reply. I have the dovewiki a little bit misunderstod.

"Public mailboxes are typically mailboxes that are visible to all users or to large user groups. They are created by defining a public namespace, under which all the shared mailboxes are"

It can't work like that. You need to have all of the these homes to be /var/mail/vhosts/$DOMAIN/public if you want them to be able to create any new folders. Then if needed add ACLs to the users. For delivering mails to these users you could set up a Sieve script to do it, or maybe something else..
