So it's still missing the "users who have mailboxes shared to you" discovery missing. I guess the easiest way to implement that would be to find those out at startup and create a namespace for all such users immediately. A better performing way would be to delay the namespace creation until the mailboxes are actually accessed and just have shared-list.c's LIST code list those users (with some kind of caching). signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Hi Sascha,
why you need an extra branch for that ?
why not just code into dovecot directly
or is it ment as temp split and later merge ?

IMO the other one:
s001 subscribe "users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX/blablabla"
should have worked.
Or is the default namespace prefix "INBOX/" instead of empty?
Furthermore, please notice the different error: when the mailbox exists
dovecot claims "Invalid mailbox name" otherwise it says "[TRYCREATE]
Mailbox doesn't exist" which is indeed true.

see above, I assume the namespace prefix is empty.
From the configuration:
namespace private {
separator = /
# Prefix required to access this namespace. This needs to be different for
# all namespaces. For example "Public/".
#prefix =
inbox = yes
}
so prefix is not set, which means, it is set to the default. (Which I
believe to be empty, the comments suggest that, too).

This doesn't work for me.
Actually the whole new shared namespaces feature doesn't work as
expected for me. Using this namespace configuration:
namespace shared {
separator = /
# %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can
# also use %%n and %%d.
prefix = users/%%u/
location =
Maildir:/kolab/var/dovecot/spool/%%u/maildir:INDEX=/kolab/var/dovecot/spool/%u/maildir/shared_idx
#location = Maildir:/kolab/var/dovecot/spool/%%u/maildir
subscriptions = no
}
I get errors when using list:
l002 list "" "*"
* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "INBOX"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/Calendar"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/Contacts"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/Journal"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/Notes"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/Tasks"
* LIST (\HasNoChildren) "/" "INBOX/bla"
l002 NO Unknown internal list error
And cant subscribe or select an existing mailbox of another user:
s001 subscribe "users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX/blablabla"
s001 NO Invalid mailbox name: users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX/blablabla
FWIW referencing an non existent mailbox causes an different error:
s002 subscribe "users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/blablabla"
s002 NO [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/blablabla
s102 select users/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/INBOX/blablabla
* OK [CLOSED]
s102 NO Invalid mailbox name

Normally this is handeled that way that users edit their shared folders flags in subfolders ( maybe with recursive rights) of their mailboxes by their own and get visiable to the the other users ( which have at last read and list rigths ) via imap acl perhaps they must do an new imap lookup to notice the sharing. shared user folder means to me the possibility that users can give acl attributes ( list, read etc ) by their own with i.e horde webmail and will shown up in the imap shared list by other users after imap search, otherwise you always need some admin ( perhaps with shell permissions ) for editing subcriptions and acls which not really works in real world scenarios on bigger mailservers with many virtual domains perhaps performance can be made better using database(file) i think cyrus does it that way somehow, if you wont include shared folders functional in somehow that way like cyrus does , dovecot wont be the first choice if advanced sharing funktions in virtual domains/mailboxes are needed ( for sure, others will be very happy with the current solution anyway ) -- Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer Germany/Munich/Bavaria

[Dovecot] shared mailboxes in 1.2 question
Hi Timo,
i tried a littel bit playing with shared mailboxes
namespace shared {
separator = /
# %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can
# also use %%n and %%d.
prefix = "shared/"
location =
maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d:CONTROL=/usr/local/virtual/%d:INDEX=/usr/local/virtual/%d
inbox = no
list = yes
subscriptions = yes
hidden = no
}
should at last show
all other users mailboxes
when .DEFAULT acl
is authenticated lr
and dovecot-acl
in /usr/local/virtual/%d
is authenticated lr too
but instead only shared is shown in thunderbird
playing with %%u etc
in combinations does not lead to working results too
(sometimes shared^^ was shown, might be [EMAIL PROTECTED] isnt working for
shared maildirs, @ could be a problem to maildir?)
your example was
namespace shared {
separator = /
# %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can
# also use %%n and %%d.
prefix = shared/%%u/
location = Maildir:/home/%%u/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
}
so something with acl might not working in 1.2
and i think i need more explanation ( examples ...)
in using %%u %%d ... to test shared mailboxes
there were no usefull log entries which would give some
more advice during testing...so it might be my fault and it only config
stuff i didnt understand
