Help with shared folder

[Gianluca Calloni]

Hi dovecot guru..



I need some help configuring shared folder in my server..

This is the situation:

DOVECOT 2.0.19

with POSTFIX - CLAMAV - AMAVISD - SPAMASSASSIN



This is the production server and sharing folder between user work..

But i need some explanation..



1) It's possible to share only a subfolder (E.G. => .INBOX.ESTERO) without
share the main folder .INBOX?

2) Which is the best way (or best practice) to manage the dovecot-acl and
dovecot-acl-list file?? Actually, i modifiy the dovecot-acl by hand (vi
editor). but every time i modify it i need to restart the dovecot server to
apply the configuration. And i need to reset the /var/run/dovecot/dict owner
and group cause with dovecot restart the file go back in root:root owner -
group





Thank's in advance.

Hi Gianluca,

I have roundcubemail as webmail. It has a plugin called 'acl', that
allows users create acls easly. My users use to use thunderbird too, and
the solution is that add-on:

HI Eduardo.



Thank you for your replay..



You know if there is a plug-in also for Horde webmail GUI?



Unfortunately we use outlook and it seems there is not addon for this.

Sorry Gianluca,

I know IMP/Horde just by name. Some googling show me that the option:
$servers['advanced'] = array(...,'acl' => true,...) could help you, but
you can get some issues:

We've had native ACL support in Horde/IMP for at least 10 years now.

But questions regarding configuration should be asked on one of the
Horde mailing lists, not here.
