Hello List I am running a Cyrus IMAP that needs to be replaced. Geting a Dovecot IMAP up and running was surprisingly simple. My configuration is close to Johnny Chaddas Howto at http://johnny.chadda.se/2007/04/15/mail-server-howto-postfix-and-dovecot-with-mysql-and-tlsssl-postgrey-and-dspam/ Its a Dovecot 1.1.10 on FreeBSD 6.4 Anyway, while basic setup was easy, i stuck in a couple of details like quota, managesieve, etc. Actual major problem and showstoper is understanding the ACLs the confuses me. So i need a hint to be guided in the right direction. What i need is a scenario, where user1 can get (for example) full access to the folders of user2, read-only access to user3 etc. A real world example: Secretary has full access to the mailfolders of her boss, boss has read-only acces to the sales-department folder. My questions: 1) is the possible? 2) can it be done with dovecot-acl files? 3) Namespaces: is it enough to have the private namespace for the job or do i need another namespace? 4) if yes, how should this namespace look like? Thanks for the help Achim

It might be possible to hack up what you need with dovecot 1.1.x but I'd say it isn't worth the trouble -- instead I'd recommend to beta-test 1.2. :-) cheers sascha -- Sascha Wilde OpenPGP key: 4BB86568 http://www.intevation.de/~wilde/ http://www.intevation.de/ Intevation GmbH, Neuer Graben 17, 49074 Osnabr?ck; AG Osnabr?ck, HR B 18998 Gesch?ftsf?hrer: Frank Koormann, Bernhard Reiter, Dr. Jan-Oliver Wagner -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
