examples of shared shared-mailboxes.db

[André Peters]

Hi Kevin,
You don't put anything into it by yourself.
This file only helps Dovecot to lookup shares to prevent iterating 
through every users mailbox.
When you create a share, Dovecot places a plain-text entry inside this 
file. When a user logs in, Dovecot asks its acl "database" in whose mail 
directory it should look for a share.

An entry could look like this:
shared/shared-boxes/user/shared-for-user at domain.tld/shared-by at domain.tld

You don't have to put a .db ending to that file. You could name it 
shares.txt, too. Important: "file:".
