Did you look at the log file for errors when trying it? I did have errors relating to the tilde in the INDEX entry above; I've fixed that by changing that line to: location = maildir:/home/imapmail/%%u/Maildir:INDEX=/home/imapmail/%u/shared/%%u I've put the full output of 'dovecot -n' at the foot of this mail. However, I still don't seem to be able to select the shared folder: 1 login def def 1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in 2 select shared/kae/stuff 2 NO Mailbox doesn't exist: stuff 3 logout * BYE Logging out 3 OK Logout completed. 1 login kae kae 1 OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND UNSELECT IDLE CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS ACL RIGHTS=texk] Logged in 2 getacl stuff * ACL "stuff" "def" lr "kae" lrwstipekxacd 2 OK Getacl completed. 3 logout * BYE Logging out 3 OK Logout completed.

It's easier to test these things by talking IMAP protocol directly. Clients sometimes hide the real problem. http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation
[Dovecot] Thunderbird and shared mailboxes
I'm setting up shared mailboxes as in http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared, and have set ACLs as described on that page to share one folder of user A's mailbox with User B. However, I'm struggling to get Thunderbird for us...@example.com to read the shared folder of us...@example.com. Has anyone done this? Thunderbird 3.0, Dovecot 1.2.11 Thanks, Keith
