dovecot + metadata

[Mihai Badici]

Sorry for my late answer, i was quite busy this period.

I think you can have a permission problem.

I have no time to develop a stable configuration  for dovecot > 2.2.12 but I 
played a little on my test server.

I created a file global-acls:

cat global-acls 
* user=mihai.badici lrws
shared user=mihai.badici lrwstipekxa

I was able to create a shared file and put a file into.
In my first tests ( and in the article I wrote for the kolab site) I used 
/var/lib/dovecot to store metadata, but during the time I realised is better 
to keep the metadata inside the maildir ( this way if i will move the maildir 
on another server or if I backup it, it will keep also the metadata info.


 


this is my configuration, it contains some ugly paths but it looks working:

Hello dovecot list, hello Mihai,


how did you get the shared-metadata for dovecot up and running?
In my setup, there are the default kolab folders, but any shared or custum 
folders are not updateteable for the specific types "event" "note" 
"freebusy" - they all remain "mail".
And - no shared-metadata file is created or updated.
