Re: Shared IMAP folder (off)
There's some directions at http://www.flatmtn.com/computer/Linux-Imap-UW.html (found by googling uw imap shared folders) but I'm not sure I follow them. It looks like it's just setting up another IMAP account that happens to be shared I use cyrus-imap, and it seems to have fairly straight-forward support for shared/public folders from what little I've played with them. Okay, I think you are right. I should switch to cyrus-imapd. But there is a big difference between the two. Here is what the package description says: A full Cyrus IMAP implementation allows a seamless mail and bulletin board environment to be set up across multiple servers. It differs from other IMAP server implementations in that it is run on sealed servers, where users are not normally permitted to log in. The mailbox database is stored in parts of the filesystem that are private to the Cyrus IMAP system. All user access to mail is through software using the IMAP, POP3, or KPOP protocols. I already have some users with many e-mails (created with uw-imap). How can I migrate between the two? I believe that I'm offtopic here. :-( Laszlo ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(Hard links between IMAP files?) I don't know how one would do this with UW-IMAP as I haven't used it for years. Courier-imap does provide for shared folders (and restricts access to its Maildir store(s) unlike UW-IMAP which can go anywhere the user's permissions permit).

(Hard links between IMAP files?) The basic problem is this: we have a company and we have some employees, doing help desk service. There are cases with different e-mail threads. When an employee goes on holiday, the others should be able to continue his work. The best was to do this is - I believe - a shared IMAP folder. Our employees are using Thunderbird. That wonderful program can display message threads. It is very nice, but how can these users share their e-mails? Is it possible to do this with FreeBSD and Thunderbird?
