Hello folks, I'd like your thoughts on the following problem: If one is using v1.2+ IMAP ACLs to allow users to share their mailbox and uses SQL as dictionary backend, every dovecot server would know which ACLs to enforce. But as the wiki states here "http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared" dovecot needs access to the other mailbox. Does that automatically mean that one dovecot machine needs to have filesystem access to the all mailboxes that are to be shared? Is there no way to share mailboxes (folders) between different servers? (apart from using NFS i.e.) -- Christ...

...addresses like: info at foo.tld contact at foo.tld help at foo.tld Every address with own Sieve-rules for filtering and sorting of incoming mails. Now every user needs access to this folders, but how? How should i create the "global" addresses? I already found http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Public , but that's just a public namespace. Is there any FAQ available for this? Thank you very much Dieter

Hi, My end goal is to set up shared mailboxes on a cluster as per: https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/ClusterSetup I was having very little luck with it, so I had been trying to break down into pieces and get individual components working. So I have things setup on a single server, with a working dovecot instance. I have no director or any thing else running yet, and I am just trying to get...

Hi! I've been using shared mailbox trees using maildir, unix permissions and separate namespaces per shared tree since dovecot 1.0. However now that I've upgraded to 1.2.8, I cannot create subfolders anymore. The server responds with "NO Invalid mailbox name: test/testsub". The hierarchy separator for the namespaces is / because I am mixing maildir and mbox namespaces and

I have read already. Probably not so carefully but do not find any for multiple location option inside namespace.

Hi, I'd like to create a shared folder to be used with an Outlook client and a Thunderbird client. We're currently using mboxes. I've read the documentation here about creating a shared folder: https://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared It doesn't make reference to how to do this using mbox format. Is it possible? Should we convert to Maildir? Perhaps there's a way to provide both formats?

...with dovecot 1.2 and pam_ldap, so all my users are posix users. No virtual user or domain, no sql so far. I am setting up shared folders with "namespace shared". I got no errors upon restarting the service, but I get no shared folders listing. As per the wiki http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared I can use a bdb file or sql connection to keep the listing. But when I use a single bdb file like: plugin { acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes.db } everytime a user logs in, this file get its ownership to the user with 0600 mode. I could use an sql dictionary, b...

I'm running dovecot 2.2.16 on my FreeBSD mail server. I've read information on the wiki about setting up shared mailboxes, but I want to do something that isn't really coved by the instructions I was reading there. My son (now 7 years old) has an account on the system, but doesn't use it directly. But, for things he's interested in like Minecraft, and/or the local zoo, we
