The maildirmake command creates filesystem permissions-based shared folders, not shared folders for virtual accounts.

Thanks. I removed this folder.

The same thing you'd write for any other virtual mail account. Instead of setting it up with maildirmake, which is wrong anyway, it should be configured just like any other mail account.

Sorry, I don't know what should write in this file. Our wish: there are
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we'd like setting up a
"Notices" common imap shared folder. I've read the documentation, but I
don't understand how to configure in this case the courier-imap.

As I said above, set it up just like any other, ordinary, mail account. Call it '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', or, better yet, call this account "Public". Create its home directory, and its Maildir. Add it to the shared/index file, exactly like you've added the existing two accounts.

Set up an admin login and password, for this account, in courier-authlib. Use the userdb module, which is very convenient for this use, or your existing module. Log in to this account, via an ACL-capable IMAP client. Set the ACLs on the account's INBOX accordingly. Create a "Notices", or any other folder in the mailbox, and set its ACLs too.

If you do not have an ACL-capable IMAP client, use the maildiracl command, making sure that you run it using your virtual uid and gid.

Test that you can see the public account by using telnet to port 143, then:

A login [EMAIL PROTECTED] [password]

A list "" "#shared.*"

The owner is not important, as long as the file is world-readable.

Ok.

That's entirely up to you. imapshared is no different than any other virtual mail account. Put an admin password on it, log in to it, via any ACL-capable IMAP client, and set the ACLs on the mailbox according to whatever access you wish to give any indiviual loginid for that mailbox.

First simple I tried this with Kmail and Evoultion, but nothing
happaned. After I used the maildiracl, but I didn't get any shared mail
folder. Ok, the /etc/courier-imap/shared/index didn't exist, because I
don't know what should write into.

But If this thing so simple as you write, why it didn't work at me?
