Hi Timo,

i tried a littel bit playing with shared mailboxes

namespace shared {
  separator = /
  # %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can
  # also use %%n and %%d.
  prefix = "shared/"
  location =
maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d:CONTROL=/usr/local/virtual/%d:INDEX=/usr/local/virtual/%d
  inbox = no
  list = yes
  subscriptions = yes
  hidden = no
}

should at last show
all other users mailboxes
 when .DEFAULT acl
is authenticated lr
and dovecot-acl
in /usr/local/virtual/%d
is authenticated lr too

but instead only shared is shown in thunderbird

playing with %%u etc
in combinations does not lead to working results too
(sometimes shared^^ was shown, might be user at domain.de isnt working for
shared maildirs, @ could be a problem to maildir....?)


your example was

namespace shared {
  separator = /
  # %%u gets expanded to the remote user. Instead of %%u you can
  # also use %%n and %%d.
  prefix = shared/%%u/
  location = Maildir:/home/%%u/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
}

so something with acl might not working in 1.2
and i think i need more explanation ( examples ...)
in using %%u %%d ... to test shared mailboxes

there were no usefull log entries which would give some
more advice during testing...so it might be my fault and it only config
stuff i didnt understand
