I might have forgotten to mention that I am using . (dot) as separator.
Your original message that proposed that fix is here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg20706.html
I am running the IMAP commands directly through telnet and although
the namespace exists, it doesn't show up at all:
2 namespace
* NAMESPACE (("" ".")("Labels." ".")) (("shared." ".")) NIL
here's my config for it:
namespace shared {
separator = .
prefix = shared.%%u.
location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
#location =
maildir:/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/P/%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
subscriptions = no
list = children
}
If I use the location that I commented out, shared folders will work
for all the domains that exist under /usr/home/vpopmail/domains/P
Thanks Timo!

I'm using dovecot 1.2.14 with vpopmail.
I've enabled shared folders and the default setup was not working. The
default setup being this line:
location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
Going through the Archives I saw a message from Timo that said to
apply a patch and use this line instead:
location =
maildir:/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
I'm not sure why I would have said that (maybe you misunderstood or I
was talking only about some specific situation or some workaround for
something). %%h is cleaner, although it does require a userdb lookup.
Why isn't %%h working? Set auth_debug=yes and mail_debug=yes and show
what the logs say when trying to access a shared mailbox then. Also
instead of using a client, talk IMAP protocol directly
(http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation), something like:
a LIST "" *
b SELECT "shared/user/some-shared-box"
What do the commands reply?
