After spending quite some time to figure out how users can share folders I now
hope someone of you could help me out. I am quite sure its just a stupid
mistake/misunderstanding ... I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with the shipped
dovecot 2.0.19
I'm using v2.2, but it should apply to v2.0 as well.
This seems fine.
ACLs look fine.
However, there is nothing listed in the account of user2. I think the
mistake is in the namespace configuration of "location" or "prefix"
mail_home = /var/lib/vmail/home/%u
mail_location = mdbox:/var/lib/vmail/mail/%u
namespace {
inbox = yes
location =
prefix =
separator = /
type = private
}
namespace {
list = children
location = mdbox:/var/lib/vmail/mail/%%n/mailboxes/shared/%n
prefix = shared/%%n/
separator = /
subscriptions = no
type = shared
}
First note, that you use %u in the default location, but %n in the shared
namespace definition. IMHO, you must stick to one, as only one is correct
in your setup.
Second, reread http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared
Say user1 is sharing to user2, then your second namespace tells Dovecot to
look for user1's mailboxes in
/var/lib/vmail/mail/user1/mailboxes/shared/user2, you most likely need to
replicate the default mail_location there with %'s doubled. Then you must
decide, where each user's INDEX and CONTROL information is stored, or if
flags are shared as well.
- From your current definition I would say, you need:
location = mdbox:/var/lib/vmail/mail/%%u:INDEX=~/shared/%%u
First part points to the directory of the user sharing the mailboxes,
INDEX= places user-specific files of the user accessing shared mailboxes
into his/her own hierarchie.
