hi all

bumping on my own...

i've tried to declare the namespace inside the imap protocol and adding 
the following extra protocol and listner

service imap-login-noshares {
	protocol = imapnoshares
	executable = imap-login
	inet_listener imapnoshares {
		address =
		port = 20143
		reuse_port = no
		ssl = no
	}
	$login_process_common_stuff
}

protocol imapnoshares {
	# we need to clone imap stuff here... maybe not everything but at least 
quota and the likes
}

unfortunately it seems that the protocol is still 'imap' : the passdb 
and userdb queries still contain imap as the protocol name, the log 
displays imap(username), and it looks like the shared namespace is active.

the namespace is now declared like this

protocol imap {
	namespace shared {
		type = shared
		list = yes	# children
		#disabled = yes
		separator = /
		prefix = shared/%%u/
		location = imapc:~/dovemail/shared/%%u/
	}
}


any ideas ?

has anybody managed to get acls to work with imapc ?

thanks for your time
