Hi,
for some days I try to setup shared folders now, but only with limited
success. I managed to get them in several email clients (KMail,
Thunderbird, Outlook Express), but the access rights is still not clear.
All of the clients behave similar for these folders, so I suspect that none
of them is to blame.
I've setup file system based authentication. For the INBOX anything is
working as expected. The owner can create subfolders from all those
clients. For testing purposes I have created two maildirs for the shared
folders. One is located in my home and one is somewhere else, where I want
to create public folders. The folders of both maildirs can be subscribed
and are properly shown in the mail clients. It is possible to store mails
in these folders, but I cannot create subfolders. OE at least reports
missing permission c, Kmail and TB just ignore the request. If I want to
open the security tab in Kmail, it tells me about the missing a
permission. What surprises me is, that I am not even the owner of that
shared folders, that are located in my home.
At first I tried to set permissions for directories and files with chmod.
Meanwhile I tried anything using maildiracl and tried to set permissions
in the maildirs of the shared folders directly or by setting them for the
private folder with INBOX.shared.name.folder, but nothing happens in
the clients, they still all behave the same.
What do I have to do to modify the permissions on the shared folders? How
can I change the ownership ... or that the owner is identified as such? Are
subfolders possible at all, since shared folders are just links into the
directories of the other maildirs ?
