It is assumed you already have a working [[Dovecot.Install]]. %0a%0a!! Symlink Method%0aThe simplest way to do this is using the symlink method as described [[ https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/sharing_with_symlinks/#sharing-with-symlinks | here]]. The advantage this has is there is no need to change your dovecot config. The disadvantage is you need to manually manage the symlinks and each folder to be shared has to be specified individually. %0a%0aConsider the following example for sharing the support@planetofnix.com INBOX and a sub folder .INBOX.cron with user izzyb.%0a%0a%25code%25[@%0aln -s /var/vmail/planetofnix.com/support/Maildir /var/vmail/planetofnix.com/izzyb/Maildir/.shared.support%0aln -s /var/vmail/planetofnix.com/support/Maildir/.INBOX.cron /var/vmail/planetofnix.com/izzyb/Maildir/.shared.support.cron%0a@]%0a%0a%0aIn your email client, you'll need to subscribe to these new mailboxes if you don't see them automatically. %0a%0a!! Public Mailboxes%0a%0aThis method uses a public namespace as described in [[https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/public_shared/#public-shared-mailboxes | this document]]. The idea being that each user will have a Public Mailbox they can create sub-Mailboxes in that will be shared to all users on the system. You'd need to run something like procmail to auto sort incoming mail to the public folders for the support@ account, and it would be visible to all users. As such, this isn't a recommended solution to for sharing support@ emails as there is no way to limit who has access.%0a%0aWIP - example to follow%0a%0a!! Shared Mailboxes%0a%0aThis is the recommended method, but also most complicated to setup. It uses shared mailboxes as described in [[https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/shared_mailboxes/ | this document]].%0a%0aThere are two ways this can be done; Global ACL Method, or Per User ACL Method.%0a!!! Global ACL Method%0a%0aThis method isn't recommended for the same reasons as the public share method. There is no way to limit which users shared folders are accessible to the users grated access. Sharing INBOX this way would grant access to the inbox of all users, not just support@planetofnix.com. This is more useful for creating a default PUBLIC mailbox that all users can put publicly shared mailboxes into. Again, this is global so it grants access to the PUBLIC mailboxes of all users.%0a%0aWIP...%0a%0a!!! Per User ACL Method%0a%0aThis is broken ATM - WIP%0a%0aThis document follows this guide in part %0a%0aThe first step is to enable the shared namespace. Edit the file /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf. You'll see a commented out section that looks something like this. Remove the comments to enable it as shown here:%0a%0a%25code%25[@%0a# Example shared namespace configuration%0anamespace {%0a type = shared%0a separator = /%0a%0a # Mailboxes are visible under "shared/user@domain/"%0a # %25%25n, %25%25d and %25%25u are expanded to the destination user.%0a prefix = shared/%25%25u/%0a%0a # Mail location for other users' mailboxes.

Plugins specific to%0a# IMAP, LDA, etc. are added to this list in their own .conf files.%0amail_plugins = acl%0a@]%0a%0aNext you need to enable imap_acl by editing /etc/dovecot/conf.d/20-imap.conf to look something like this:%0a%0a%25code%25[@%0aprotocol imap {%0a # Space separated list of plugins to load (default is global mail_plugins).%0a mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_acl%0a%0a # Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address.%0a # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively.%0a mail_max_userip_connections = 10%0a}@]%0a%0aNow you need to provide some configuration parameters for the acl plugin by removing the comments in%0a/etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-acl.conf so it looks like this:%0a%0a%25code%25[@%0aplugin {%0a # using /etc/mail/ instead of /etc/dovecot/ since this is where user config details are stored%0a acl = vfile:/etc/mail/global-acls:cache_secs=300%0a}%0a %0a# To let users LIST mailboxes shared by other users, Dovecot needs a%0a# shared mailbox dictionary. For example:%0aplugin {%0a acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/shared-mailboxes%0a}@]%0a%0aFinally, enter the following to restart Dovecot and you should have mailbox sharing enabled.%0a%0a%25code%25[@%0adoas rcctl reload dovecot%0a@]%0a%0a!! Sharing Mailboxes%0a%0aNow that you have mailbox sharing enabled, we need to share some mailboxes. These instructions cover using doveadm acl (see man doveadm-acl) for sharing mailboxes from the support@ email account. %0a%0aTo be continued...
