Hi Adam:
Shared folders on DBMail systems work great. You can visit the DBMA demo http://dbma.ca/demo/ and read from the help files as well as see the actual shared folders created by users. They all work just fine. Your MUA must also handle ACLs. Microsoft's Outlook Express is *not* an ACL-friendly MUA although it can be forced to work -- but MS Outlook and Thunderbird as well as Mozilla Mail do a great job with ACLs. So does SquirrelMail. :o)

Sir, I run windowsrefund.info. Are you kidding me? :)

You might read help para below to get some background understanding on how RFC 2086 plays out in practise.
Help is at http://library.mobrien.com/dbmailadministrator/DBMA_ACLs.htm


Uh well that's nice and all but seriously, I don't really think that one should be expected to absorb RFCs in order to share folders via a webGUI. Thanks for the reference though.


If you want to create a user and a shared folder on the DBMA demo (http://dbma.ca/demo) I will look it over for you and see what, if any, step you have missed. Use your first and last name at domain dbma.ca and I will spot it -- worth a try :o)


Good deal. I added the account adam (uid 191) to the system and shared the INBOX. Then I granted access to user bibo (uid 109). Everything looks fine on the demo (as it does on my system) but there's really no way for me to test that it's working. You should see that uid 109 has been assigned all permissions except for SETACL. I certainly believe you that this is working on the demo but have no way to verify since I can't subscribe my MUA to any mailboxes. It's also worth noting that even if the functonality is at 100% on the demo, this isn't a real test since it's running an older version of DBMA. In other words, there's no evidence that something didn't break in 2.4.0.

Thanks for having a look.

Best,
Adam

Subject: [Dbmail] Sharing Users folders


Has anyone been able to do this successfully? I'm using DBMA 2.4.0 and DBMail 2.0.7. I can however, create public shared folders and subscribe to them just fine using Thunderbird.

Best,
