Hi people!
Please, can someone give me a sample of configuring this situation using
virtual shared folders acl
/home/user1/Maildir
/home/user1/Maildir/.I_want_this_shared
/home/chuck-noris/Maildir
so, when chuck-noris user acess his folders in Outlook Express he needs
to see a folder called I_want_this_shared ( from user1 maildir ) in read-only
mode...
The preferred way is to have user1 set the ACLs on the folder using user1's IMAP client. The problem is that ACL support in IMAP clients generally sucks. You're probably better off using maildiracl, something like:
maildiracl -set /home/user1/maildir INBOX.i_want_this_shared user=chuck-noris lrOf course, you need to set up the virtual shared folder index file, you should install etc/shared/index that would contain:
user1 X Y /home/user1 chuck-noris X Y /home/chuck-noriswhere X and Y are your virtual shared folders' UID and GID. This will make the folder accessible via IMAP as #shared.user1.I_want_this_shared
Whether or not Outlook Express will actually see this folder is a completely separate issue. The folder will be accessible via IMAP, but since proper implementation and interoperability with commodity Internet standards is not a priority for Microsoft, chances are fairly good that you will find that Outlook Express is broken, and it does not support shared IMAP folders.
If you do not see the folder in Outlook Express, try Mozilla Thunderbird. If Mozilla Thunderbird shows you the shared folders, then go bitch to Microsoft.
