Have you tried using regular Unix groups and links to let b read a's Maildir? How about this?

# let's have b and a share a subfolder, not the whole Maildir maildirmake ~a/Maildir/Folder

# make b's Maildir/Folder point to a's. Courier will always look in # the user's home directory for the Maildir, so b's home Maildir must point # to the shared one # ln -s ~a/Maildir/Folder ~b/Maildir/Folder

# put b in a group that can read/write a's maildir groupadd agroup usermod -G agroup b

# make sure the group can read/write each other's file in Maildir. chgrp -R agroup ~a/Maildir/Folder chmod g+wx ~a/Maildir/Folder find ~a/Maildir/Folder -type d | xargs g+s

Hi folks,

It is the second time I ask the very same question in this list. Would someone please point me a solution? I have seen people answering questions about shared folders (and it is fairly documented on README files). Yet, it does not answer my question.

I would like to know how to build a shared INBOX, that is, user A want to read/delete user's B INBOX, although user A does not know user's B password.

I have read some documentation about "maildirmake", including all README files available. I have noticed it is useful to share a FOLDER ($HOME/Maildir/.FOLDER) between two or more users, but not the INBOX ($HOME/Maildir/cur, new & tmp).

I am looking for an strategy to create a "corporative mail account", similar to what we find in Microsoft's Exchange server.

I am using Postfix to deliver messages directly to $HOME/Maildir using the parameter "home_mailbox = Maildir/" in main.cf

Would anybody help me?

Best Regards,
