similar to: whole user mailbox read only

Hi all, when I create a subfolder in a public mailbox the dovecot-shared file is copied for the newly created subfolder and all mails get the owner, group and permissions from the file. Unfortunately the cur, new and tmp folders only get the permissions from the file but owner and group are set according to the creator. This effectivly makes the folder private to the creator. Is this the

Hi, I read the Wiki about dovecot-shared a few times but it is not 100% clear to me (at least for 1.2). First, if I want shared keywords I *must* have a dovecot-shared. In this case, the permissions are not taken any longer from the parent folder (what is exactly this parent folder?) but from the dovecot-shared file. So in some sense dovecot-shared is always required (since everyone would

Hello, i've found an old thread [1] where it was stated that a whole mailbox can be made read-only only setting the according permissions on the filesystem side. [1] http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/html/dovecot at dovecot.org/2011-12/msg00300.html i'd like to check if it's still the only option we have with dovecot v2.0.18 .

Hi, I'm having a problem I can't get my head around. I'm trying to setup a public mailbox that is hidden from all users unless granted access through an ACL. My folder structure is (migrated from a Courier IMAP/Qmail server): /var/spool/maildir - main public folder (contains a few .qmail files to redirect mail to the correct subfolder) /var/spool/maildir/Support - support public

Hi, I'm running Dovecot 1.2.17 on FreeBSD 9 to serve an archive of a few internal mailinglists. The archive is implemented using a public namespace: namespace private { separator = / prefix = inbox = yes } namespace public { separator = / prefix = Lists/ location = maildir:/home/vmail/lists/Maildir:CONTROL=~/Maildir/lists:INDEX=~/Maildir/lists subscriptions = no } As

Hello, i know i know, i'm getting annoying but appearently i always come up with weird ideas and i cant seem to accomplish such a task. the scenario is that i have an LDAP server with a bunch of users. some of them are in a specific OU, and i'd like to define for all these users belonging to this OU an alternative mail location/storage. in details for all the users i'd like to use

Hi all, I'm planning on implementing this in my new upcoming dovecot instance, and would like to hear thoughts on how best to accomplish this. We will be paying Timo's support company to do the work, but obviously, the less work in the form of coding he has to do to get this working (I'm hoping it won't be a lot), the more money it will save us... ;) First - I currently use

Hi, A user accidentally delete a folder from their Maildir (probably while using Thunderbird). The folder was at Archives/Sent/2015 (/.Archives.Sent.2015 in the Maildir format). I attempted to copy the folder from a tar backup into the Maildir folder but the new folder does not show up in Thunderbird or in the Subscribe option. I also copied the .Archives.Sent. folder as well. A

Hello everyone, I'm trying to configure dovecot to allow users to share their imap folders. I've followed the wiki and i'm near to accomplish my tasks, when i set ACL properly on folders using imap commands the other user can see the folder as shared, but i can't subscribe to it or even access its content using any email client (like thunderbird) couse it looks like the path to

hello, I'm using dovecot 2.0.16 and i would like to use acl for subfolder. The file dovecot-acl is well written in both folder test and the subfolder test/Test : cat /home/user2/Maildir/.test.Test/dovecot-acl user=user1 ilrws cat /home/user2/Maildir/.test/dovecot-acl user=user1 ilprws When user1 want to list, the folder test is well shown, but not the subfolder test/Test. This is the

Hello everyone, i was wondering if it was possible to add master user criteria in ldap backends. the idea is that the users, members of a specific group, should be able to login with their own credentials on behalf of other users. i've tried setting it up like this: hosts = localhost dn = CN=ldapuser,OU=someldapou,DC=domain,DC=tld dnpass = <password> auth_bind = yes ldap_version = 3

I've installed dovecot 0.99.14 (maildir, postfix, RHEL3) and I would like to create , for every user, 4 mailbox (in skel): mail-sent, spam, virus-alert and sysadm. Procmail, parsing header mail, will move mails into a specific mailbox. Every users could move, delete, read these mails but they must not delete mailbox folder (such as INBOX mail). Thanks in advance, Francesco

Dear Dovecot users, hello. I will merge two issues I have into a single email because they may be related. I used dovecot on a OmniOS server since 2014 (currently OmniOS r151014) with the following configuration (it shows 2.2.18 because I recently updated dovecot, skipping only the PostgreSQL plugin): # 2.2.18: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: SunOS 5.11 i86pc zfs mail_location =

Hi, I'm trying to use dovecot for storing mailing lists and read-only access for users. The OS is Solaris, authentication for all readers of these lists are from Ldap through PAM, and one local user "listuser" will receive all mail and store them into it's folders (Maildirs). These maildirs are readable (read-only) for all others and they are shared by setting --- mail_location:

Yes. mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/Maildir:INBOX=/var/vmail/%Ld/%Ln/Maildir/.INBOX:INDEX=/var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/%Ld/%Ln As Sami Ketola wrote earlier: rm -f /var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/domain.ru/user/.INBOX/* doveadm index -u user at domain.ru INBOX doveadm force-resync-u user at domain.ru INBOX ls /var-fast/dovecot/indexes/vmail/domain.ru/user/.INBOX/*

Hi, I'm trying to disallow the creating of subfolders for some special folder for all users. Using ACL plugin for this seems to work at first glance but is not a full solution or is buggy as it allows the creation of sub-subfolders. I'm using the following ACL and namespace separator is "/": $ cat folder owner lrwstie Note: no "k" permission ("k" =

Hi, I'd like to share the whole INBOX of one user with another. That should go through: doveadm acl add -u user1 at example.cz SharedDirectory user=user2 at example.cz lookup read insert It's works fine, when I connect through imap I see: . list "" "*"* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/" shared* LIST (\Noselect \HasChildren) "/"
