Hi Friends, i have a little problem with my Dovecot installation. The normal installation works very well and now i have to configurate dovecot that all member from a domain can access all mailboxes from this domain. I configurate the shared namespace and set the IMAP ACL Flag but i can't abonement the other mailboxes. I get a error in the logs:

My users are stored in a LDAP (openLDAP) Server and the login works very well.
