Hello everyone,
today I have tried to set up shared and public IMAP folders, but it
didn't work.
# rpm -qa | grep dovecot
dovecot12-backend-mysql-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64
dovecot12-backend-sqlite-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64
dovecot12-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64
dovecot12-backend-pgsql-1.2.11-3.3.1.x86_64
Here is my dovecot.conf [1].
Can anyone explain what is wrong with my configuration? It is not
possible to access the shared and public mailboxes. Thunderbird and
KMail don't show the shared/public namespace at all. Outlook Express
shows these namespaces, but trying to access leads to a "mailbox
doesn't
exist" error message.
Dovecot is not logging any errors.
What's wrong?
Thanks,
Andre
