(Running Dovecot 1.1.0) Is it possible to either - (a) Still have shared "\Seen" flags even while using the dovecot-shared file or (b) Indicate to Dovecot in some way other than the dovecot-shared file which permissions to use for any messages created? The problem is, in my shared folder (using symlinks) scenario I am using, I have to use the dovecot-shared file to make sure new messages get written with the correct user and group permissions so that everyone appropriate can access them, but I still would like the functionality of the shared "\Seen" flags in these shared/symlinked folders (which having dovecot-shared seems to knock out). Is it possible to do both somehow? Dave

Hmm, that might be the best solution then, an upgrade to 1.2. Fwiw, I also tried NOT using the dovecot-shared file and just relying on the UMASK=007 directive I put in .procmailrc to create the messages with the correct permissions..... and that worked! Well, as far as the messages themselves go. However, the dovecot.index, dovecot.index.log, and dovecot-uidlist all got rewritten with only user permissions and created problems. I'm guessing dovecot-shared is the only way to make sure those files keep their correct permissions? David
