Hello, I'm using following two namespaces with Dovecot 2.2.13-12~deb8u1: namespace inbox { inbox = yes list = yes location prefix = INBOX. # the previous Cyrus compatibility separator = . subscriptions = yes type = private ... } namespace { inbox = no list = children location = maildir:/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir:INDEXPVT=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/Shared/%%n prefix = user.%%n. separator = . subscriptions = yes type = shared } For the shared namespace, the subscriptions are stored globally in '/vmail/user/%%n/Maildir/subscribtions' which is bad for me. I would like too keep subscriptions per user. I cannot set 'subscriptions = no' because I have no parent namespace. And when I set :SUBSCRIPTIONS=/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared it does not work (absolute path does not work) and it creates file in: /vmail/user/%%n/Maildir/vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared instead of /vmail/user/%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared I found, that relative path hack works: :SUBSCRIPTIONS=../../%n/Maildir/subscriptions-shared but I'm not sure it is the legitimate solution. Are there other options? Kind regards, Milo
