So did you get everything fixed up ?

> doveadm(lightdm): Error: Can't open mailbox Storage/Email: 
stat(/run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp) failed: Permission denied 
(euid=976(lightdm) egid=976(lightdm) missing +x perm: 
/run/media/computer/Storage/Email, dir owned by 5000:5000 mode=0700)


Now it's another user that needs to access that directory (lightdm, 
euid=976). I would add lightdm to the vmail group and make the directory 
group readable and accessible, so chmod g+rx 
/run/media/computer/Storage/Email and any other folder it's complaining 
about.

Dear Aki,
i think I got it.
Many thanks.  it has to do with the permission settings.

Re: Linking mailboxes

drwx-x kunal kunal Storage 

I'm guessing this point is being more restrictive. Can you try changing this 
into 0755?

Also suddenly you are no longer using vmail but random user IDs. This only 
works with vmail.

Re: Linking mailboxes

Can you run

namei -vl /run/media/computer/Storage/Email/tmp

the + at the end does not mean that, it means there is an extended POSIX ACL.

Hey Aki,
Sorry for the trouble but I am still unable to get it working. The file
permissions for upper files are now drwxr-xr-x. but I think they need to be
drwxr-x--x+ ?
Any idea how to change it to that?

At minimum directories 

/run/media/computer/Storage/

need to have o+x, so you can do

chmod o+x /run /run/media /run/media/computer /run/media/computer/Storage

and

chown -R vmail:vmail /run/media/computer/Storage/Email

Re: Linking mailboxes

2019-02-25 Thread Kunal A. via dovecot

Dear Aki,
I have given permission to the folders Storage/Email to vmail.
But the upper hierarchy is not under vmail .

Full directory = /run/media/computer/Storage/Email

/run/media/computer  = not  vmail
Storage/Email = vmail

How do I get this corrected ? It seems like vmail needs access through all
through run/media/computer .

Please excuse my ignorance as I am not very familiar with filesystem
permissions. :-/

Sincere apologies for the trouble.

Thanks
Kunal A.

Dear Aki,
Many thanks for your feedback. Its what I figured I should do but I was not
sure how safe it was.
Would it make sense to execute the following to  /run/media/computer so
that the user/group is vmail?
sudo chown -R vmail:vmail to the /run folder ?

Also if this practice is safe to perform?

Thanks
Kunal A

You need to give write permissions to vmail on /run/media/computer/Storage/Email

You can 
 - change owner to vmail
 - change group to vmail and add rwx for group
 - use posix ACLs
 - change mode to 0777 (unsafe)

Re: Linking mailboxes

2019-02-25 Thread Yassine Chaouche via dovecot


Hello Kunal,

I've done this once, and it was for bakcup mail too :) in this page 
(https://ychaouche.informatick.net/dovecotsharefolders) I describe how I 
shared folders between main e-mail account and backup e-mail account 
with symlinks and dovecot-acl files pretty easily.


Yassine.

Hi,
I am new to Dovecot and I am trying to link an email account folder 
to another Maildir(its a backup of the older email). I want the email 
account to be able to access the older emails.

I am assuming this is done by creating a symlink?

Currently reading instructions on this page:-
https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Symlinks

At the moment I have the folder:-

drwx--. 2 vmail vmail 4096 Feb 23 13:39 tmp
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root  root 5 Feb 23 13:46 Users -> Users

I am not able to access the folders in the Other folder 
structure(inside other there are other email inboxes ie( 
ema...@example.com , ema...@example.com 
,etc.). I want to get access to all the 
email subfolders. Could someone here advise how to do this or point 
me to some tutorials for this. Sincere apologies for this and many 
thanks in advance for helping...

Try setting mail_debug=yes and provide logs. This gives better insight
