[Dovecot] acl, shared folders

[Infoomatic]

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the reply! A simple
location = mdbox:/var/lib/vmail/mail/%%u
was the solution. (my tests before with INDEX files obviously broke some stuff, so I just created empty users and it worked as it should with my initial config)
 
best regards,
infoomatic

I am quite sure its just a stupid mistake/misunderstanding ... I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the shipped dovecot 2.0.19 I'm using v2.2, but it should apply to v2.0 as well. > This seems fine.

IMHO, you must stick to one, as only one is correct in your setup. Second, reread http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared Say user1 is sharing to user2, then your second namespace tells Dovecot to look for user1's mailboxes in /var/lib/vmail/mail/user1/mailboxes/shared/user2, you most likely need to replicate the default mail_location there with %'s doubled. Then you must decide, where each user's INDEX and CONTROL information is stored, or if flags are shared as well. - From your current definition I would say, you need: location = mdbox:/var/lib/vmail/mail/%%u:INDEX=~/shared/%%u First part points to the directory of the user sharing the mailboxes, INDEX= places user-specific files of the user accessing shared mailboxes into his/her own hierarchie. - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBUsuqhV3r2wJMiz2NAQK+lAgAu46HGrSz3h8JGGM7hJpLHsuDkypHD8Xr ThbicfUC5CVOBk1xs3FkXM1gDecb8820f6JrDSe24slg6Lf7WWPdZdGEzc4f0Dnr btL4+ePrRrI+UyuRXtmm7hZu6JaUwJj+h8AOmpzg+swJokHWUGkY73vcFri+O2bt Dfd+HbZqmuCjJ+aauLKclEEGCQ45JHKC/LavxnBFPix48PoCEOrfaVrC3R9mFjGD 7CJbzgi2T2xJIdYzl+pvFRgEu8aT6AtgQo+4BE51PaLz/8XUE4NX5usV/kcLgu9O iz5VQcgKXFFoJ1HD37kcwNVkkAx67yDTVdDyLgvH9j0CYBpvnxDM4g== =WVlL -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
