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
