Hi,

I am unable to subscribe to shared folders with Thunderbird although
everything seems to be correct (dovecot 1.2).

What does not work? I click "Subscribe..." in Thunderbird. The shared
mailboxes are listed, all with [ ] (no checkbox). Therefore I mark them
[x], click "subscribe" and "OK". However, the folders do not appear in
the folder tree. Furthermore, when I again click "Subscribe..." the
folders do NOT have the mark [x] any more. This happens on different
computers with *new* profiles.

My configuration is the following (maybe that is the problem?!):

namespace private {
  separator = .
  prefix =.
  inbox = no
  list = no
  hidden = yes
  location = maildir:~/Maildir-root
  subscriptions = yes
}

namespace private {
  separator = .
  prefix = INBOX.
  inbox = yes
  subscriptions = yes
}

namespace public {
  separator = .
  prefix = Shared.
  location = maildir:/var/mail/shared:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared:LAYOUT=fs
  subscriptions = no
}
[...]

In this case the subscriptions for Shared. are saved in ~/Maildir-root/subscriptions.

However, may be that this does NOT work in practice?

It works as soon as I set "subscriptions = yes" in the public namespace :-(

However, then the subscriptions are saved in the shared folder and the users overwrite them themselves :-/

Regards,
 Luke
