Hello,
I created a shared folders directory and inside that created a shared folder. These are the commands I used:
/usr/lib/courier/bin/maildirmake -S /var/homes/shared_folders /usr/lib/courier/bin/maildirmake -s write -f test /var/homes/shared_folders
[...]
Then I created an /etc/courier/maildirshared file, its contents: test /var/homes/shared_folders/.test
Now I'm not sure how I can actually access that shared folder from any account? I've tried issuing the command "SELECT shared.test", and "SELECT test", and LIST "shared" "*" but none of them seem to recognize the shared folder.
What is the correct way to configure and access the shared folder?
Thanks Ricardo
I believe you used the wrong folder name in the maildirshared file. Unless I'm mistaken, it must be the name of the "shared maildir" (shared_folders), not of the "public folder" (test) that you created *inside* of it.
And unless you want your test folder to show up as "shared.test.test" during a 'LIST "" "*"' command, I'd suggest giving it a name like "systemwide" or "public" or something to denote it as different from any other shared maildirs that users (assuming they have access) might create for themselves -- using "public" would then let it appear as "shared.public.test" instead of "shared.test.test".
Also, of your three attempts to select or list the box, "SELECT shared.test" would have (I believe) failed due to the fact that shared.test is marked as "\NoSelect" (note the first "select" in my example session below). And "SELECT test" would not have worked since there is no "test" hierarchy for it to find anything in (and if there were, it would probably be marked as \NoSelect anyway, like "shared" is). However, the other one (LIST shared *) should work when you have it all configured properly.
HTH.

maildirmake -S /Users/james/tmp/Shared maildirmake -s read -f readonly /Users/james/tmp/Shared maildirmake -s group -f grouponly /Users/james/tmp/Shared
echo "oogabooga /Users/james/tmp/Shared" \ | cat > /usr/lib/courier/etc/maildirshared
