i have got a working dovecot+postfix (with maildir + sasl ) now i want
a public folder for users so that HR related or other announcements
should be shared with read only rights.
i followed dovecot official document for public share but didnt worked
# User's private mail location
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
# When creating any namespaces, you must also have a private namespace:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
#location defaults to mail_location.
inbox = yes
}
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix = Public/
location = maildir:/var/mail/public
subscriptions = no # v1.1+
(http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Public#Public_Mailboxes)
this is what official document looks like. i even created folder
/var/mail/public with 777 rights and all the folders mentioned in
above doc however it does not showed up in the IMAP account. is there
any thing i should do more to achieve this.
my current mailbox location is home folder.
Thanks
