The dovecot-metadata is still a work in progress, despite my earlier message 
reading differently. I assumed because Akonadi began to work (my telnet tests 
were already successful since a while), that the dovecot plugin would also 
work, but noticed later that everything was a coincidence.

Anyway, my config is:
plugin {
  metadata_dict = proxy::metadata
}
dict {
  metadata = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-metadata
}

This appears to work for me - I think the key is the proxy::.

Oh, right, wrong place. If you make it go through proxy, it doesn't do any 
expansion. It's then accessed by the "dict" process (which probably runs as 
"dovecot" user).

You could instead use something like:

 metadata_dict = file:%h/Maildir/shared-metadata

I haven't really looked at what the metadata plugin actually does..

Hi Timo,

it doesn't expand either %h nor %%h. When I hardcode the path to my dev user's 
homedir I get a permission error. After hardcoding it to /tmp/shared-metadata 
the file gets at least written, but the content looks strange:

shared/mailbox/7c2ae515102e144f172dd1887b74/shared//vendor/kolab/folder-
test
true

It's not expanding ~/

Use %h/ instead of ~/

[Dovecot] Trying to get metadata plugin working

2012-01-16 Thread Thomas Koch 
Hi,

I'm working on a Kolab related project and wanted to use dovecot on my dev 
machine. However I'm stuck with the metadata-plugin. I "solved" the 
permissions problems but now I get

dict: Error: file dict commit: file_dotlock_open(~/Maildir/shared-metadata) 
failed: No such file or directory

Before that, I had 
dict {
  metadata = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-metadata

but got problems since my normal user had no permission to access 
/var/lib/dovecot.
I compiled the plugin from the most recent commit.
My dovecot runs in a chroot. I can login with KMail and can create Groupware 
(annotated) folders, but the metadata file dict won't get created and I also 
can't set/get metadata via telnet.
