Looks correct..
The problem occurs after a user has subscribed to The Folder
dovecot complaints about ...
dovecot: IMAP(grharry):

Permission denied (euid=1004(grharry) egid=1000(vmail) missing +x perm:

After changing manually the perm in the above dir +x all works fine.
What were the permissions before? What are the permissions
of /home/Public-Folders-Mail/Public-RO/.production?

[Dovecot] Maildir and mail files question
If an incoming mail is saved in 2 mail locations via dovecot deliver, and its wished that if deleted from box "a" should also be deleted from box "b" ... wil it be safe to delete based upon the W=x part of the file name So far my tests indicate that It could be true ... Thanks Harry
[Dovecot] expire tool in 1.1.11
Hi, I am on dovecot 1.1.11 trying to figure out the expire tool The thing is that when I had confed the exp tool there where a bunch of mails inside the mail boxes. Thus it seems as if the database is not updated about them. Is there a way to update it from command line to include the old mails ??? Thanks Harry

One way I can do this is to set up a mailbox and then have an application that checks to see if there's mail and then processes it. (Old school Unix script) Is there a way to set it up with dovecot? (Cleaner solution) Thx -Mike I am sure this can be done with sieve but I am starting to learn it now With procmail it's just trivial After making sure it is a mail destined to your application, you just pipe it there # Last delivering recepie after spam cheks etc :0 | /path/to/my/processing/application You might also have a look at ripmime ( rips mime attachements from a mail ) ... so you can combine all Cheers Harry.
[Dovecot] Calling dovecot deliver from procmail
I came up with this trick That is Since my previous mail server had a bunch of complex procmail recipies and I am not sure that I can turn them into sieve scripts I am calling dovecot deliver to drop mail in it's final $DEFAULT destination. :0 | /some/path/dovecot/deliver in order to update the index, control files etc upon delivery time. So far in my "tests" it works. But I wonder if this is wise or not. Regards, Harry.

However I observed that
a) dovecot-shared file is not honored unless located in inside the
maildir stucture ( just above cur,tmp,new )
b) when mbox format is used dovecot-shared file does not get honored at
all ... ( ie a user creates another mailbox in the directory ).
c) Is there a way to reject mbox or maildir file/dir creations by the
users in a shared folder ??
I've used a mailbox format public namespace in order to be simple and
have users dump undetected spam there for latter use in sa-learn --spam .
Please understand that I am quite new to this ( confused as well ), thus
some of my questions might seem naive ( at least ) ..
Cheers
Harry.
