Trying to track down a problem I've been dealing with for a while.
Everything else works fine - the problem is with shared mailboxes.
My present, and desired, prefix for the shared namespace is:
prefix = INBOX/shared/%%d/%%n/
Some mail clients, particularly Thunderbird and Android's AquaMail, have
no problem with this. But other (presumably broken) clients don't show
the shared mailboxes. This includes EM Client and Webmail Lite.
Actually, Webmail Lite lists the mailboxes in the subscription window,
but then the "live" folder list shows "shared" and
"shared/domain" but
none of the shared mailboxes below the domain.
Changing to:
prefix = INBOX/shared/%%u/
Works across all clients - but I'd rather have the domain separation.
Testing with telnet ". LIST '' '*'" yields the full
list with either config.
The files /var/mail/%d/shared-mailboxes contain entries like:
shared/shared-boxes/group/allshared/user at domain.com
