two imapd istances with different altnamespace

2010-10-15 Thread Giuseppe Ravasio
Hi,
my mail server runs cyrus 2.3 with altnamespace: no parameter.
We make extensive use of shared folders and we are happy with this 
setting and with personal folders unser INBOX.

But now need to use a software that only understands alternative 
namespace and i was thinking about using two different imapd.conf files 
that differ only in the line:

  altnamespace:no
 altnamespace: yes

in cyrus.conf i will put:

imap  cmd=imapd listen=imap prefork=0
imap2 cmd=imapd -C /etc/imapd2.conf listen=10143 prefork=0

It's possible to do this  setting?
And it's safe using different namespaces on the same mailstore?

Thanks
Giuseppe

The altnamespace doc says that should work, with the caveat that sieve
scripts will need to be updated.

Ouch... I missed that the doc says
When configured to use one (or both) of the options below
and i also find the right google keys to find out this post:

http://blog.fastmail.fm/2008/08/11/alternate-namespace-imap-port-may-help-outlook-ol-express-apple-mail-and-bis-users/

So it seems that i can use both namespaces at the same time!

About sieve scripts if my
   sieve cmd=timsieved listen=127.0.0.1:sieve prefork=0

points to the altnamespace: no config it seems to me that there is no 
need to convert all my users sieve scripts.

I'm right?

Thanks
Giuseppe
