Hi all I'm hoping someone here has had experience with using shared mailboxes with Courier IMAP, because there's precious little information under Google.
We use Postfix to deliver mail that's addressed to some group addresses directly to a Maildir, using the aliases file like so: /etc/postfix/aliases: group1: /home/shared/Maildir/.group1/ group2: /home/shared/Maildir/.group2/ which works fine, all the mail is delivered to these mailboxes. The new mail appears, not surprisingly, in the subdirectory new/ of each of these maildirs. I have set up shared mailboxes according to the Courier IMAP docs, using maildirmake, like so: % maildirmake --add share=/home/shared/Maildir ~/Maildir which works too, all the existing mail in /home/shared/Maildir/* appears in the client's mailboxes when checking. Note that the *existing* mail appears in the client's shared mailboxes, i.e. all mail that was in /home/shared/Maildir/.group1/cur/ appears in the clients Share->Group1 mailbox. The problem is that Courier isn't picking up on *new* mail being delivered to the shared mailboxes, i.e. mail in /home/shared/Maildir/.group1/new/ isn't appearing in the client's Share->Group1 mailbox. This URL appears to describe the issue: http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/README.sharedfolders.html At the bottom, under the heading "Opening a shared folder", it suggests that the subdirectory new/ in the shared mailboxes *will not* be checked for mail when Courier is checking the shared mailboxes on behalf of the IMAP clients. So [deep breath], my questions are: Is there a way to force Courier to do the right thing and check new/ ? Can I force Postfix to deliver new mail to cur/ ? Am I making any sense? I'm at my wits end with this. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://spacepants.org/jaq.gpg You can't teach an old mouse new clicks. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
