Hy! I was wondering: would this also work with a virtual setup? I have all my users in a database and would like to use shared imap folders...

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 lr Of 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-noris where 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. _______________________________________________ Courier-imap mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-imap
