I have been reading literature for the past few weeks about creating

for me
In understand the maildirmake -S will make my folder shared.
My point of confusion lies in how this works with my present system.
At the moment postfix is using virtual to make my maildir's
As mentioned already, maildirmake -S is for filesystem based shared
folders, not virtual shared folders.
So my tree looks like so
/home/vmail (home)
/(home)/test.com/ (domain)
/(home/(domain)/test (user)
/(home/(domain)/(user)/tmp
/(home/(domain)/(user)/cur and some courier files
So my confusion lies in the how to's that I have seen seem to Layout
similar to below. But I don't seem to have maildir folders?
# maildirmake /var/amavis/.maildir
# maildirmake -S /var/amavis/.maildir/Bayes # maildirmake -s write -f
spam /var/amavis/.maildir/Bayes # maildirmake -s write -f ham
/var/amavis/.maildir/Bayes # maildirmake -s write -f redeliver
/var/amavis/.maildir/Bayes
If I want to make a list of shared folders with my layout how should I
go about it in the most consistent way with my present configs.
I'll give a description of how to set up filesystem based shares (I
haven't done virtual shares before) on my system. You can apply for
your situation.
From README.sharedfolders:
Use the -S option to maildirmake to create a maildir that can contain
sharable folders.
Use the -s and -f options to maildirmake to create sharable folders. The
same sharable maildir may contain multiple sharable folders with
different access permissions, as selected by the -s option.
Use the --add option to install a link from a regular maildir to a
sharable maildir. Afterwards, IMAP clients will be able to subscribe to
folders in the sharable maildir.
Use the --del option to remove a link.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ maildirmake -S /home/chris/shared-bayes
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ maildirmake -s write -f spam /home/chris/shared-bayes/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ maildirmake -s write -f ham /home/chris/shared-bayes/
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ maildirmake -s write -f redeliver /home/chris/shared-bayes/
Of course, you can put the shared folder anywhere you want, but for my
example, I didn't feel like worrying about permissions.
Within shared-bayes I now have: cur .ham new .redeliver .spam tmp
Next add for each user that needs to access share:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ maildirmake --add bayes=/home/chris/shared-bayes/
/home/chris/Maildir/
I now have a line in /home/chris/Maildir/shared-maildirs that says:
bayes /home/chris/shared-bayes/
You will need to repeat the maildirmake --add line for each user that
wants to access the share.
All that is left is to subscribe to the shared folder from your e-mail
user agent. In Thunderbird, it is set up already. I now have a folder
structure:
shared
bayes
ham
redeliver
spam
From your setup, you should be able to set up as:
# maildirmake -S /var/amavis/Bayes
# maildirmake -s write -f spam /var/amavis/Bayes
# maildirmake -s write -f ham /var/amavis/Bayes
# maildirmake -s write -f redeliver /var/amavis/Bayes
# maildirmake --add bayes=/var/amavis/Bayes /(home/(domain)/(user)
If you want virtual shares, then you don't use the maildirmake
command...and that's all I know about that.

Good day, eh.
