Dear List, We've been following: http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedFolders But all we can do is subscribe.

Hi again, Just testing the ACLs, as one of our clients do not want users to delete or move Sent emails.

Dear Team, The OpenLDAP stuff on this page: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html is not the preferred backend, i.e. ldbm, it really, really needs to be bdb. See: http://www.openldap.org/faq/index.cgi?_highlightWords=bdb%20ldbm&file=1085 "ldbm uses a neutral storage interface which in principle could wrap dbm, ndbm, gdbm or sleepycat as underlying storage;

Dear All, We've been working on this for a client to help create and manage maildir shares, via the dovecot-shared file. Our problems are creating lots of dovecot-shared files and permissions and monitoring new Maildir folders that get added by the user (maybe a better way, would love to know). The tool is almost done, with the docs at:

Might want to include the following command in LDAP config incase LDAP doesn't start. slapd -u ldap -g ldap -d -1 This command pointed out that I hadn't copied my samba.schema to the /etc/openldap/schema directory.
