ACL-friendly = almost Everything but OE
I could be wrong on this but you may be juxtaposing some of the thinking
between the public and user-specific shared folder regimes. w.e.
Sharing a users' folder is something the user does if allowed although with
DbMailAdministrator control can be either seized or assisted by the
Postmaster. Creating the #Public :: folder, however, forces "folder"
globally and everyone gets it :o)
The user :: foldername option is normally done by the MUA but can be done by
DbMailAdministrator so think a little from the users shoes when building
such a shared regime. You start by giving the user High Priviledges and then
they take over admin is best approach. System accounts and quasi user
accounts sharing folders with real people like putting your SpamAssassin
outcasts or system monitor alerts into a postmaster folder shared to 'Billy
Williams' and 'Joe Bloe' is a good example of where global admin might start
sharing specific user folders for warm bodies to examine and work on.
I just created ACL for #Public :: folder using DbMailAdministrator on
2.1.6+Trunk and Thunderbird polled it in a flash.
the #Public :: folder regime is always administered by the postmaster
although users can turn down the option to subscribe. I see most MUAs will
subscribe #Public as a default.
Hope that puts a little light in the forest.
office requires a shared folder on each user
Pretty common. Shared folders work fantasticly well in DBMail and you should
have no problem. Getting OE to work is a serious pain. If users have
Office/Outlook it is very good w/IMAP but the Mozilla full package (incl
News and Mail) (as Netscape once was) is fine solution for overall web and
mail. Tbird+FireFox (nee Firebird) is also good.
best...

Subject: [Dbmail] Can't see a #Users shared folder?
Running latest stable release on Centos/Postfix/Mysql/dbmailadmin. Able
to share #Public folders and subscribe. Able to create shared personal
folders in the admin interface. After much trial and error I found the
"new user" option when sharing a user's folder lol. They now appear as
<userid>/folder. I thought perhaps this would appear like
#Users/<id>/folder but I'm happy if I can see the folders.
Under Thunderbird I don't see the other user's folders when subscribing.
I gave the user Full rights to their folder and gave basic rights to the
Anyone user similar to what #Public folders have. I also gave a user
rights to the other user's folder. How do I now subscribe to them? They
don't appear in a subscribe listing.
Bottom line, the office requires a shared folder on each user that the
other users can drop messages in (typically from a #Public share).
Inbound faxes will arrive in a #Public folder (I hope) that any other user
can determine who should then have it in their mailbox.
FYI, what are some "ACL friendly MUAs"? Thunderbird can subscribe but not
admin any folders. I see under Properties the ACLs I set in dbmailadmin
but no option to do anything about it from the client..
