Hi,I have a problem regarding shared folders with courier-imap. I'd like to have the following: 1.) A couple of Unix-Users (users with shell-login) are supposed to take care of a common mailbox. 2.) I need global "seen"-flags on the messages in the common mailbox 3.) All users are supposed to be able to do everything (including deleting messages that someone else moved to a folder, creating new subfolders etc.) I've been trying a lot but wasn't able to find a satisfying solution yet. First the choice is whether I have to use filesystem based shared folders or virtual shared folders. According to README.sharedfolders.html filesystem based shared folders do not satisfy the third requirement. In addition I read on this list that they don't satisfy point (2) as well.
Correct.
That seems to leave virtual shared folders. So here's my main question: Is it possible for Users with login-accounts to access virtual shared folders?
No, because all virtual shared folders will presumably use a different uid/gid that's reserved for virtual mail accounts, and thus will be unaccessible to the IMAP server that runs under the system account's uid/gid.
