See: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL (These informations are for Dovecot 2.x). You must define a namespace (shared) and create the appropriate acls. An acl looks like user=user at example.com rl This acl (filename: dovecot-acl) can be stored in the folder you would like to share which means that user "user at example.com" can "read" and "list" the mailbox. Some IMAP clients supports shared folders so if you configure Dovecot correctly you can manage this within your client software but you can also do this manually. -- Daniel

What exactly are you having trouble with? v1.2: http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared v2.0: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared -- Best regards, Charles
