Hi there,
I've set up my Dovecot instance for shared mail accounts. I'm using
Debian
10, Dovecot 2.3.4.
This is what I did:
#namespace {
# type = private
# separator = /
# prefix # location # inbox = yes
#}
namespace {
type = shared
separator = /
prefix = Osztott/%%u/
location = maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/shared/%%u
subscriptions = no
list = yes
}
Note, the word "Osztott" means "Shared" in my language.
The strange behaviors:
1: as you can see, the first empty namespace is commented. This is because
when I restarted the Dovecot instance, it sent this message to the log:
Error: namespace configuration error: Duplicate namespace prefix: ""
When I commented out these lines, the error message left.
Why did that happen? What's the real solution?
2: with this config, I see the shared accounts under my account, with
prefix "Osztott" - but the shared account is duplicated. There are two
instances with similar names. In first mailbox I see the e-mails, this is
fine. But under the "regular" name of the shared mailbox, there is the
other mailbox with the same name + a suffix "-1", which is empty.
Why is that second maildir there?
Thank you for your help,
a.
