Subject: Re: [SLUG] Sharing IMAP Folders
David,
If you're using Outlook or OE, then try another client. In setting up our Dovecot IMAP system, we early on dispensed with MS clients (we run XP and 2K) - I suspect their implementation of IMAP is purely suited for MS servers. I have used Pegasus and Eudora with varying success, and Thunderbird with somewhat less success - but it still works.
The problems are:
Pegasus (my current client):
1. Doesn't support new mail folder filtering on the IMAP new mail
folder; however they can be set up as a general rule set applied to
the folder whenever the folder is opened.
2. Doesn't automatically update the new mail folder with new mail if
in preview mode. Works OK outside preview mode.
3. Doesn't support (at least with Dovecot) creation of folders in
which you can place folders. Folders are created with -rw------- permissions, instead of drwx------.
Eudora: 1. Not especially stable 2. Doesn't support asking where to save sent mail (this is a unique Pegasus feature, i think - and saves much time)
Thunderbird: 1. Very poor folder support 2. No way to update folder list if you use another method of creating them.
Pity there's no REALLY good IMAP mail client.
Hope this helps.

Judging from the wiki documentation, shared folders are in the 1.0tests dovecot series.

Thanks, Jan. I just hope it makes its way into the stable release before the guys i'm doing it for discover the concept.
On a more immediate note, I am have huge problems getting a Windows XP
box to authenticate to a dovecot server I have set up. I get 10061 errors
no matter what authentication method I try to use. Linux clients and
Windows 98 works fine (using SSL/TLS). Even got a Windows 2000 box
talking to it. Is there some gotcha in XP I'm (not being a Windows
person) not aware of?
Cluesticks, anyone?
