Hello,
I added this to the configuration:
namespace {
type = public
separator = .
prefix = public.
location = maildir:/var/mail/public
subscriptions = no
list = yes
}
and I can list maildirs inside these folders correctly. however, I can't
see any subfolders.
The issue seems to be that /var/mail/public dir itself is interpreted as
a maildir directory.
However, what I'd like to do is to have a bunch of directories inside
/var/mail/public and treat them as separate maildirs. (I'd like to use
this to make a few existing mailboxes public)
is this possible?
Best regards,
Burak

You could use shared mailboxes: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared Another Workaround might be to run a cron job to symlink mailboxes of "public" mailboxes into /var/.../public, e.g.: /var/mail/user1/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} /var/mail/user1/Maildir/.box1/{cur,new,tmp} - -> ln -s /var/mail/user1/Maildir /var/mail/public/.user1 ln -s /var/mail/user1/Maildir/.box1 /var/mail/public/.user1.box1 Be aware of permission problems, e.g. all user might be able to delete change mails in the public mailboxes. a.s.o. - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBU8y6jnz1H7kL/d9rAQK06Af/VTVfeXZdEf52JVMmSTLVx3a0Yz3rNtKm m7i9DAx1L2rx6DgYQsFk4k6DubGG1CG2w/kgOQMBLcpbw8BktP8EFrXkP9AVQUET E8qg0intM4k8ToLmbV/gvZberZpVhlBv1Gs1LOXYs76TZQqTWvbyJ+NVd6M2DQ3V gQ6bSDpzepOSUGuH/FydyFNycwEVHRLJ5IiA1jJyPryB6ScyP/SM42RHn3Uf95hv DGvnnXie9L0pIuBhB1iXrBngCbezXX1t1Ekp/b6n2Av/XXkkRERJ9C7yHj+09SQj 5yDDcKITD8cJq7a+gS093OWZpzjdf1kYWfYaGxxWB2LVAUayWtYSeg==k6KM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
