dovecot - Dec 2008 - How create shared Maildir ?

Hello,  I'm bigginer dovecot.
I use dovecot version 1.0.15 (rc)  on debian .

How create shared maildir ?

I try to ..................

# mkdir /home/share
# maildirmake.dovecot /home/share/Maildir
# chown root:mail /home/share
# chmod 660 /home/share


# vi /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
-------- add  this   ----------
namespace public {
  separator = /
  prefix = share.
  location = maildir:/home/share/Maildir
}


Thunderbird can see "share" , but can't subscribe.....

Anyone please teach me how create shared maildir ?

Thank you.

A namespace will contain multiple mailboxes. Typically you'd have
several mailboxes created under /home/share/Maildir, such as:

/home/share/Maildir/.First shared box/
/home/share/Maildir/.Second shared box/

That's because "share" is a namespace prefix and not a mailbox.

I setup this and Thunderbird see share .
But, show permission problem.......

I set up all permission to shared Maildir,
#  chmod -R 777 /home/share/Maildir

but,  many permission trouble wake up...............  I can't know
what happen....


In courier-imap,   I set up only 3 step.

1) create maildir
 # maildirmake  -S /home/shared

2) create maildirshared file
 # echo 'SHARE      /home/shared ' > /etc/courier/maildirshared
(use tabcode)

3) edit imapd config file
 IMAP_UMASK=022
 IMAP_SHAREDINDEXFILE=/etc/courier/shared/index


Is there way  like this  on dovecot ?
