dovecot - Oct 2011 - setting namespaces using script-login environment in 2.0

Hi!

With dovecot 1.x, I was using a post-login script to dynamically add
shared mailboxes using NAMESPACE_X.. environment variables, based on
filesystem permissions:
After login, the post-login script was executed with user permissions
(mail_drop_priv_before_exec=yes). It added all subdirectories of
"/var/spool/mail/Shared" as namespaces for which the user had write
permissions. E.g.:

NAMESPACE_2='maildir:/var/mail/Shared/spamrep:INDEX=~/Maildir/index/Shared/spamrep'
NAMESPACE_2_PREFIX=Shared/spamrep/
NAMESPACE_2_SEP=/
NAMESPACE_2_TYPE=public
NAMESPACE_2_LIST=yes

See the attached post-pogin-script for details.

After switching to 2.0.14 (using executable script-login -d...), the
script actually gets executed but the namespace settings do not seem to
be honored.
Besides, I don't see any pre-set NAMESPACE_ environment variables anymore.

Have environment based namespace settings been abandoned in 2.0?

Does Dovecot 2.0 maybe provide a better way to only display those
folders, for which the user has at least read permissions?
(Unix-permission based)

Thanks in advance,

I think you need to add them to USERDB_KEYS now...

The settings are now named.
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/MailLocation#Custom_namespace_location shows
the basics. So for example if you have:

namespace foo {
  ..
}

You can change it via:

NAMESPACE/FOO/PREFIX=Shared/spamrep/
NAMESPACE/FOO/SEP=/
..etc..

The '/' character is a bit problematic with shells scripts though, see
the wiki link how to do it via "env" at least.

Another problem is if you want to add more namespaces than you have
configured. IIRC it's possible to simply add:

NAMESPACE=foo

And more than one is probably either "foo bar" or "foo,bar".
If you get
something to work, please add example to
