dovecot - Sep 2010 - need help with shared mailboxes

I have some problems with setting shared mailboxes . I use dovecot 
1.2.11 with following namespaces :

mail_location: maildir:~


namespace:
   type: private
   separator: .
   inbox: yes
   list: yes
   subscriptions: yes
namespace:
   type: private
   separator: .
   prefix: INBOX.
   hidden: yes
   list: no
   subscriptions: yes
namespace:
   type: shared
   separator: .
   prefix: shared.%%n.
   location: maildir:/home/sites/%d/mail/%%n/Maildir/
   list: children

plugin:
   acl: vfile
   acl_shared_dict: proxy::acl

dict:
   acl: mysql:/usr/local/etc/dovecot-share-sql.conf


In the private namespace I use to have only INBOX. space because I have 
migrate from courier and I ahave problemes with duplicate folders.

The disk structure looks like :
/home/sites/domain.tld/mail/user(withoutdomain)/Maildir


What I'am trying to do is to give access to a user (user2 at domain.tld) 
some other user mailbox (user1 at domain.tld).

in the /home/sites/domain.tld/mail/user1/Maildir I have created a file
dovecot-acl with :

owner lrwstipekxa
user=user2 at domain.tld rl


- in the dovecot-share-sql.conf I have :

connect = host=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock dbname=xxxx user=xxx 
password=postfixpass
map {
     pattern = shared/shared-boxes/user/$to/$from
     table = user_shares
     value_field = dummy

     fields {
     from_user = $from
     to_user = $to
     }
}

and in the user_share table :

+-------------------+------------------+-------+
| from_user         | to_user          | dummy |
+-------------------+------------------+-------+
| user1 at myhost.ro   | user2 at domain.tld | 1     |
| user1             | user2            | 1     |
+-------------------+------------------+-------+

(not sure what I need %n or %u)

Now , in TB under the user2 , if I check subscribe , under the shared, I 
have a INBOX folder that is always check but nothing else. From what I 
understand I suppose to see user1 folders and I think it is something 
wrong with my config (namespaces, paths).

If someone have succeeded to configure dovecot with shared mailboxes and 
namespaces that use . as separator please help me.

Alex.

okay.

For consistency this would also be clearer if it was:

location = maildir:%%h

Although, do you really have the Maildir/ path included in users' home
dirs? That's not right. http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers/Home

You should use IMAP's SETACL commands to change the ACLs. I can't
remember the details of how it works either.

You shared only user1's INBOX to user2. User2 can't see anything else
without user1 sharing them. There's currently no way to set "share all
of user1's mailboxes to user2".

I know..
This is the user2 subscription file:

# cat /home/sites/domain.tld/mail/user2/Maildir/subscriptions
Trash
Sent
Drafts
INBOX
Spam
shared/user1/INBOX
shared/user1/Spam
