Hi,

The shared folder mechanism described in the Courier documentation seems 
to be
exclusively about "newsgroup-style" shared folders where each individual 
user gets
his own mail status flags (such as seen/unseen).

However for some shared folders (not all of them) I would rather like 
"pool-style"
shared folders, where the status of e-mails is shared amongst all users, 
so only one
user will typically need to handle an e-mail (one example would be the 
folder
receiving mails sent to a role-account such as [email protected], 
where more
than one person is watching this inbox and replying to requests).

So I wonder how and if this can be done with courier-imap, here are some
methods I have been thinking about, but not tried:

- Symlinks:
  $ ln -s /some/shared/dir/.foobox ~/Maildir/.foobox

- Bind mounts (Linux specific)
  # mount --bind /some/shared/dir/.foobox /home/bar/Maildir/.foobox

- Some peculiar option in one of the courier special files in the shared 
folder
or its subscription.

Anyone have any experience with this, and any advise on how to do this?

Sincerely

Jakob Bohm, CIO, developer, sysadmin
