Great suggestion. I've changed my namespaces as follows:
namespace private {
separator =
prefix = INBOX.
location = maildir:~/Maildir
inbox = yes
}
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix =
location = maildir:/home/public/shared/Maildir
inbox = no
}
I seem to now have all of my Inbox folders working, and my shared folders
are working for read-only. But when I try to drag a message from my Inbox
into one of the shared folders, I get an Unknown namespace error.
I enabled debug logging and see the following in syslog (and mail.info):
Nov 28 11:41:30 snappy dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=bbell,

Nov 28 11:41:30 snappy dovecot: IMAP(bbell): maildir:

I'm obviously still doing something wrong. Clues?

Rather do it the other way around:
namespace private {
separator =
prefix = INBOX.
prefix =
location = maildir:~/Maildir
inbox = yes
}
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix =
prefix = shared/
Also (assuming v1.1):
subscriptions = no
location = maildir:/home/public/shared/Maildir
inbox = no
}

Re: [Dovecot] Namespaces and shared folders
Found the clue I was looking for at http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/dovecot@dovecot.org/msg08557.html. Seems to be working fine now. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Namespaces-and-shared-folders-tp20727713p20737738.html Sent from the Dovecot mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
[Dovecot] Namespaces and shared folders
I had a working dovecot install before I tried to implement shared folders
using namespaces.
I added the following to /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf:
namespace private {
separator =
prefix =
inbox = yes
}
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix =
location = maildir:/home/public/shared/Maildir
}
/pre
I created my shared folder using the maildirmake command that came with
qmail:
maildirmake -S /home/public/shared/Maildir
maildirmake -s write -f online /home/public/shared/Maildir
chown -R dovecot:shared /home/public/shared
find /home/public/shared -type d -exec chmod 0777 {} \;
find /home/public/shared -type f -exec chmod 0666 {} \;
At this point, the online folder shows up as a subscribable folder in
Thunderbird. I can subscribe to online and I can still access my Inbox.
But I can't get to any of the folders in my Inbox (Trash, Drafts, etc.). I
can access these folders if I comment out the namespaces and revert to the
default behavior.
There are no clues in mail.err, mail.info or mail.warn -- the only messages
are the ones written when my client establishes a successful IMAP
connection.
What did I do wrong?
