[courier-users] Shared Folder Problem

[Adam Retter]

Okay guys I have a small problem with Shared Folders under Courier-IMAPD that I hope you can help me with, it may be that I have simply misuderstood their functionality, I have read the manual page but cant seem to find what I want.   My Platforms are - FreeBSD 4.7 + Postfix 1.1.12 + Courier-IMAP 1.6.1 + Outlook Express 6 (For Client)   I am using Maildir format for each user.   User accounts are in the following format -   /data/mail/MyDomain.com/MyAccountName/Maildir/   What I want to acheive is to create a shared folder (that has sub folders) that can be shared across a domain   e.g. /data/mail/MyDomain.com/shared/    is a Maildir that contains messages and sub folders that are accessible by all members of MyDomain.com   To do this I have so far tried   # maildirmake -S /data/mail/MyDomain.com/shared # maildirmake -s write -f News /data/mail/MyDomain.com/shared # maildirmake -s write -f Customers /data/mail/MyDomain.com/shared   To Create a shareable maildir called shared with subfolders News and Customers   Next I try and link them to a users Maildir so they can access the shared folder.   # maildirmake --add shared=/data/mail/MyDomain.com/shared /data/mail/MyDomain.com/MyAccountName/Maildir   This appears to work ok, However when I connect via. IMAP from Outlook Express 6 I get a rather strange IMAP folder layout (as below) -       + Inbox     - shared         - shared             - News             - Customers   Now what I want to acheive here is to only have one level of shared. I have tried editing the file /data/mail/MyDomain.com/MyAccountName/Maildir/shared-maildirs   Changing the line -       shared    /data/mail/MyDomain.com/shared   To -                  /data/mail/MyDomain.com/shared   While this seems to not cause a problem with courier if I go into outlook express and click 'Reset Folders' sometimes I see this (what I want to finally acheive) -       + Inbox     - shared         - News         - Customers   and sometimes I see this -       + Inbox     - shared     So My Question is how can I acheive a stable shared folder solution with only one folder named 'shared' in the hierarchy???   Thanks   Adam Retter   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
