sharing folders with Thunderbird
Trying to share
folder "JasonAlerts" within mailbox operations to user u1.name Issues:1. Shared
mailboxes
do not appear under subscriptions in Thunderbird for another user2. When I try
to set
permissions via IMAP commands I get in /var/log/dovecot.logAug 26 20:33:24
imap(operations): Error: nfs_flush_chown_uid: chown(/var/lib/dovecot/db)
failed: Permission denied3. The permissions
for the file are:root@dal-notify-01
Maildir]# ls -la /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db-rw-rw-r--. 1
operations sharedusers 197 Aug 26 20:33
/var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db4. Users I'm testing
with are part of the sharedusers group in /etc/group5. IMAP commands DO
write to the file:[root@dal-notify-01
Maildir]# cat
/var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.dbshared/shared-boxes/user/u1.name/u2.name1shared/shared-boxes/user/operations/u2.name1shared/shared-boxes/user/u1.name/operations1shared/shared-boxes/user/u1.name/operations16.
It will also
write to the user's /home/operations/Maildir/.JasonAlert/dovecot-acl
fileuser=u1.name ilrw However if I got
into Thunderbird and try to subscribe, none of the shared folders are
listed. Can anyone help?? Thanks!! Dovecot version =
