I have 3 servers running dovecot 1.0.10. 2 of them are configured with a
shared/public namespace, but I'm having trouble getting it to work on
the third, even with 2 working examples to go by. There's something I'm
missing, and I'm hoping that someone here can see/tell what it is.
I've created the maildir for sharing:
# cd /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com
# maildirmake shared
# chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw shared
Then added the configuration to dovecot.conf:
# shared namespace
namespace shared {
separator = .
prefix = shared.
location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/shared
}
Restarted dovecot:
# service dovecot restart
When I try to subscribe to the shared namespace though with Outlook, I
get: "Failed to subscribe the folder. Server responded: 'Mailbox doesn't
exist: shared'." When I try to subscribe with Squirrelmail I get:
"ERROR: Could not complete request.
Query: SUBSCRIBE "shared"
Reason Given: [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: shared"
I've tried various combinations of permissions to no avail.
Suggestions welcome. I'm at my wits end.
So I created a few subfolders.
# cd /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/shared
# maildirmake .sub1
# maildirmake .sub2
# chown vpopmail:vchkpw sub*
Voila, sort of. The main folder named 'shared' cannot be subscribed to,
however sub1 and sub2 can be subscribed to successfully.
Can someone explain why that is?
Thanks.
