Re: [courier-users] Shared INBOX!!

That's fine for existing mail - I tested something similiar using a new Unix account C who's home dir is the same as B's. I created a new account because I assumed A would want to retain an INBOX also...

The problem is getting Courier to deliver 660, instead of 600. My guess is, because of security, it really won't want to do that. :-)

chgrp -R agroup ~a/Maildir/Folder
chmod g+wx ~a/Maildir/Folder
find ~a/Maildir/Folder -type d | xargs g+s

Subject: [courier-users] Shared INBOX!!

Hi folks,

It is the second time I ask the very same question in this list. Would

someone

please point me a solution? I have seen people answering questions about

shared

folders (and it is fairly documented on README files). Yet, it does not

answer

my question.

I would like to know how to build a shared INBOX,
that is, user A want to read/delete user's B INBOX, although user A does

not

know user's B password.

I have read some documentation about "maildirmake", including all README

files

available. I have noticed it is
useful to share a FOLDER ($HOME/Maildir/.FOLDER) between two or more

users,

but not the INBOX ($HOME/Maildir/cur, new & tmp).

I am looking for an strategy to create a "corporative mail account",

similar

to what we find in Microsoft's Exchange server.

I am using Postfix to deliver messages directly to $HOME/Maildir using the
parameter "home_mailbox = Maildir/" in main.cf

Would anybody help me?

Best Regards,
