Hello,
I like to share the inbox "INBOX" itself to other users and not only
folders.
But it looks like INBOX is not shareable? I have tried both dbox and
maildir.
I have used TB, SquirrelMail, Roundcube. TB shoes the shared INBOX
within the subscription dialog as subscripted but the per user file
"subsricptions" does not contain an entry. Any other "normal" shared
folder I can (un-)subscribe and the entry within "subsricptions" will be
updated.
dovecot 1.2.11

mail_access_groups: sysdov

user "user2" shares "INBOX" and folder "Drafts" to user "user1".

Here some imap commands I have used to test it:

1 OK List completed.
I'm right missing "FremdeOrdner/user2/INBOX" here? Or should an
IMAP-Client always try to select an "INBOX" as long as "HasChildren" is
shown?

Additional question
I have seen the comment for shared folder and dbox:
"You must not try to :INDEX= to have copies of index files."
This is still valid and within version 2.0 also?
