Hi Michael,

it's simply easier to use a shared mailbox, because it shows up in you own folder pane and you don't have to switch between different user-accounts.

Dovecot has built in mechanisms for shared and public mailboxes (https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/) - so why not use it?

Cheers
Christoph.

Curious, what is the use case that you simply can't create three users, and share the password on on of the email accounts?

They can simply set up their email clients to check both mailboxes, why would this not work, and what is the use case that requires customizing your MTA?

Hi

I wish to create a share mailbox ( well.. Apparently, this is a public mailbox). Let's say I have 2 users : user1 & user2 and the need to share a mailbox for "general inquiries" emails..
