[Dovecot] Could sharing a folder with other users cause a loss of emails?
we are trying to figure out how and email box is not empty. All we did was /mail/user1 /mail/user2 /mail/shared ln -s /mail/shared /mail/user1/shared ln -s /mail/shared /mail/user2/shared Perms are fine and people where dropping emails in here fine. We added a third one and the user also right clicked in their IMAP client and added a subfolder. It was around that time they where gone. Could any of these actions cause that? PS it is not a mbox layout. Thanks!

The shared mailboxes? Are there multiple there? Was it only the emails that were gone, or were the entire mailboxes gone?> Could any of these actions cause that? > PS it is not a mbox layout.I don't really understand what mailboxes you had, what format they had, what kind of a configuration you had, etc. dovecot -n output and ls -a /mail/shared output at least might be helpful. Anyway, the problem is most likely that some client went and deleted the mails, perhaps automatically. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
