Dear all, I would like to use shared folders but I'm not quite sure whether Dovecot supports it the way I want it: -user A should be able to share a folder with users B, C, D -B, C and D should have read-access to this folder Did anyone implement shared folders like this?

But it should be possible to do what you want with v1.0 too: 1. Create symlinks to the shared maildir and make sure the filesystem permissions are wide enough so that all the users can read/write to the directories. 2. Enable ACL plugin and create dovecot-acl file limiting the users' access to read-only. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

A number of our users would greatly benefit from truly shareable mail folders. I know we can bodge this with symlinks, but mailbox corruptions seem to occur when simultaneous updates are made, but this may be a client issue I guess. So I wonder if true shareability is creeping up the agenda. By true shareability, I mean such that if two users have the same folder open and one of them makes a modification to it, the display of that folder on the other user's screen immediately reflects that change. I guess this may well require a co-operating client... Cheers, Terry --
