Yes, with the command line tools I could remove the resources again. I still don't really get how to work with resources yet...but that's ok as I don't need really need them, just being curious :)


Now I created a folder for company wide addressbook and contacts with 'kolab cm ...'. I also managed to set the folder type with
kolab set-mailbox-metadata 'CompanyXY/Contacts at example.com' /shared/vendor/kolab/folder-type contact (or event)

Now I'm wondering if the often seen prefix 'shared/...' has any special purpose or effect? It looks ugly in roundcube if everything is prefixed with shared (especially if the ui is not english). I just went with another meaningful prefix.

I also created mailboxes for company wide mail addresses with the command line. In previous versions of kolab I could deliver mail to these accounts with 'kolab+shared.... at example.com'. That seems not to work anymore. How can I deliver mail to the shared mailboxes? Any ideas? My workaround is to create whole user accounts for shared mailboxes, but that smells a bit messy...

Thanks for your help,
