Hi Aki, they are. > 3.

The dir /var/lib/dovecot/db has this for permissions: drwsrwsrwx. 2 root sharedusers 33 Aug 27 21:12 db the user operations is a member of “sharedusers” in /etc/group. I even chmod’ed the permissions after to rw for global and I get the same error/result. The file does appear to get written to. For example, lets say user u2.name creates a folder called “starbucks” and uses the IMAP commands to share it out to user operations. It seems to write to the acl_shared_dict file in /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db with an entry like > shared/shared-boxes/user/u2.name/operations > 1 And it writes to the ~/Maildir/.starbucks/dovecot-acl file for u2.user with an entry like: user=operations lrw So it appears to be working. However, if I log into Thunderbird with the user operations account and go to subscribe, I do not see “starbucks” in the list of available folders. And I still get the nfs_flush_chown error. Is there anything else I can be doing with the file/dir permissions?
