2) I'd like both POP3 and IMAP users to see both namespaces.
As I understand it, this requires the use of the virtual plugin for POP3, in
order to create a virtual namespace which would mix together the private and
public namespaces into one mailbox.
I have read:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual
https://sys4.de/de/blog/2013/02/11/dovecot-virtual-setup-mit-globaler-sieve-
spamfilter-regel-fur-pop3-nutzer/ (via Google translation)
The example uses a CASE statement in the MySQL userdb query. As I
understand it, this is done to set which namespace contains the inbox: the
private namespace or the virtual namespace -- depending on if the user is
connected via the imap or pop3 service, respectively.
Question: how do I accomplish the same goal (setting the proper namespace
for the inbox) when using a passwd-file style flat file userdb?
you can select the passwd-file by %u , e.g. see the first example of
passdb's on http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile
So, generate a passwd-file with namespace/inbox/inbox, make a script to
strip this settings from it and dump into another file. This script is to
run each time, the main file changes (or by cron), in order to keep both
files in sync.
Then:
userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%n /etc/passwd.%s
# default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%u
}
Then symlink /etc/passwd.POP3 to the file with and /etc/passwd.IMAP (and
any other that generates not-found errors) to the file without the virtual
namespace.
