While I can't speak for him, I think they have a team of people who are
accessing / handling the same mailbox, but want any email they send to
have their personal "From" address without having to change this
continiously.
If that's all they want, then just assign multiple logins to the same
mailbox. For example, using userdb:
a...@example.com<tab>home=/path/to/home|uid=123|gid=123|systempw=xxxxx
b...@example.com<tab>home=/path/to/home|uid=123|gid=123|systempw=yyyyy
Then you can login as either a...@example.com or b...@example.com, in which case
that's the address for outgoing mail (unless you've overridden it using
sqwebmail preferences), but still have the same inbox.
However, if you also want to have incoming mail for a...@example.com and
b...@example.com to be handled as separate mailboxes (private to those users),
whilst these two users can both simultaneously access the mailbox for
in...@example.com, then you definitely need virtual shared folders.
Hi Brian,
That's what I originally did, but when I log in I then get the following
error:
Unable to open the maildir for this account -- the maildir doesn't exist or
has incorrect ownership or permissions.
I use mysql based authentication:
+---------------------------+---------------------------+-----------+
| email | maildir | password |
+---------------------------+---------------------------+-----------+
| in...@domain.com | domain.com/info/ | xxxxxxxx |
| a...@domain.com | domain.com/info/ | xxxxxxxx |
| b...@domain.com | domain.com/info/ | xxxxxxxx |
+---------------------------+---------------------------+-----------+
I can log in to the first account, but not the other two, despite them
pointing at the same maildir.
