It was a Test. Didn't expect it to work.
I've check the soucecode some. In lib-index/mail-index.c the file rights
for the index files are hard set to 0600. I've changed this to 0660 and
mbox shared mailboxes do function. It might be a bood idea to make this
configurable. e.g.
location = mbox:/var/mail/shared:INDEX=/var/mail/shared/.index;0660
Stetting the index mode globaly to 0660 is no problem in the enoirement
my server is running but it is not option for most of the others.

[Dovecot] Problems with Shared Mailbox
Hi,
i've installed dovecot on a new mailserverand try to set up some shared
mailboxes. I have everiting up an runnig so far.
I have 3 mboxes to be shared.
I have use the following setup
namespace private {
separator =
prefix =
location =
inbox = yes
hidden = yes
}
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix = zentrale/
location =
mbox:/var/mail/shared:CONTROL=/var/mail/shared/.control:INDEX=/var/mail/shared/.index
}
the problem is with the dovecot.index files
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /var/mail/shared/.index]# ls -alR

When the directory is setup like this everthing works as planed. But
sometimes (havn't quite figured when exactly the dovecot.index file of
one of the Mailboxes is regenated with the false permissions set
./.imap/Eingang:

drwxrwx--- 5 dovecot vhsal512 May 7 13:49 ..

-rw--- 1 estartu vhsal376 May 7 13:53 dovecot.index
-rw-rw 1 dovecot vhsal 23552 May 7 13:53 dovecot.index.cache
-rw-rw 1 dovecot vhsal 7116 May 7 13:53 dovecot.index.log
How can I gate dovecot to set the permissions of this files to rw-rw
I am using Dovecot v1.0.rc29
