Hi, I've just switched mail storage from maildir to mdbox and found it's very amazing. The only question I've is related to shared mailboxes. In the past I've had a few mailboxes that were shared between two users by just symlinking maildir. So everything was shared including flags and \Seen status. Now I want to get something like this. As far as I understand, "shared" namespace will keep \Seen flag private. So any suggestions how to make \Seen shared? My idea is to create some 'private' mdbox-based namespace that points to fixed location on server, that doesn't depends on username? Is it safe (in terms of locking, accessing indexes, etc)? I'm 100% sure that nobody except dovecot will access it. PS. It's latest version of dovecot. Thanks. -- WBR, Dmitry

It looks like just removing INDEXPVT fixes it for me. Thanks a lot! -- WBR, Dmitry
