Re: [Imap-uw] individual folder for each mail user

[Philipp Führer]

Hi Mark, The correct way to do this is to modify the routine mymailboxdir() in env_unix.c, e.g.: static char *mymailboxdir () {   if (!myMailboxDir && myHomeDir) {     char tmp[MAILTMPLEN];     sprintf (tmp,"/home/mailusers/%s",myusername ());     myMailboxDir = cpystr (tmp);   }   return myMailboxDir ? myMailboxDir : ""; } nice. I'm surprised that that worked at all.  That isn't what blackBoxDir does nor how it is supposed to work.  I suggest that you don't use the black box stuff at all, and instead you use the above patch. i first tried to change mymailboxdir, but obviously i made a mistake. then i read somewhere to play around with blackBoxDir, whatever, with your hint everythings works now. i had to do some changes, this is my solution for imap-2006a: find and replace in src/osdep/unix/env_unix.h: (finds a nice place for .mailboxlist and .mblxlsttmp, individual for each user) /* Subscription definitions for UNIX */ #define SUBSCRIPTIONFILE(t) sprintf (t,"%s/%s/.mailboxlist",myhomedir (), myusername()) #define SUBSCRIPTIONTEMP(t) sprintf (t,"%s/%s/.mlbxlsttmp",myhomedir (), myusername()) find and replace in srx/osdep/unix/env_unix.c: (returns an individual home mailbox directory for each user, creates needed directories if they don't exist) /* Return my home mailbox name * Returns: my home directory name */ static char *mymailboxdir () {  char *home = myhomedir ();  if (!myMailboxDir && myHomeDir) {      char tmp[MAILTMPLEN];      sprintf (tmp,"%s/%s",myhomedir(), myusername());        struct stat stat_p;    if ( -1 ==  stat (tmp, &stat_p))        mkdir(tmp, 0711);    sprintf (tmp,"%s/mail",tmp);                  if ( -1 ==  stat (tmp, &stat_p))        mkdir(tmp, 0711);          myMailboxDir = cpystr (tmp);  }  return myMailboxDir ? myMailboxDir : ""; } then compile and install.. with these changes, .mailboxlist and .mlbxlsttmp will go to /home-of-users/individual-username and the mailboxes are stored into /home-of-users/individual-username/mail . the home directoy of the users MUST exist, the other directories will be created automatically. thanks a lot, Mark. flipkick
