Dear Andre, Thanks for yr reply. What do i include in the file shared-mailboxes.db ? As in the input. Is it really plain text ? So for example i write into the file shared-mailbox.db :- shared at domain.net shared2 at domain.net etc... Is it like that or what kind of syntax needs to be used?

Hi Kevin, You don't put anything into it by yourself. This file only helps Dovecot to lookup shares to prevent iterating through every users mailbox. When you create a share, Dovecot places a plain-text entry inside this file. When a user logs in, Dovecot asks its acl "database" in whose mail directory it should look for a share. An entry could look like this: shared/shared-boxes/user/shared-for-user at domain.tld/shared-by at domain.tld You don't have to put a .db ending to that file. You could name it shares.txt, too. Important: "file:". Andr? Am 13.02.2015 um 08:47 schrieb Kevin Laurie:> Dear Andre, > Thanks for yr reply. > What do i include in the file shared-mailboxes.db ? > As in the input.
