dovecot - Apr 2016 - Solr with shared mailboxes

We have multiple logins assigned to single mailboxes, so we can give one login
to different devices.

Does this cause a problem with mailbox guids in solr or is the ID stored within
the indexes and not related to username.

It causes Solr indexes to be duplicated. There should always be a single unique
userID for a user. You can map the login username to userID by returning
"user" in passdb and userdb lookups. If you want to preserve the login
username in logs, you can use %{auth_user} in mail_log_prefix and
login_log_format_elements.

We are using passwd-file (http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile).

Do you mean passing 'user=XXX' in the extra fields, normalizing this
across all the shared accounts?
