I"m using the Postfix mailbox_command to call maildrop; each user owns their own mail folders.

Whether you use postfix or exim, it"s irrelevant. The information you showed indicates that you"ve set up filesystem-based shared folders.

Indeed... I remember that. So the alternative is "Virtual shared folders" ? This seems to imply all mailboxes are owned by a single user ? This was my question.

Mail cannot be delivered directly to filesystem-based shared folders.

As it was decided (for whatever reason). But it seems the only issue is getting articles from the new/ directory into cur/ where imapd will open them (i can deliver articles, mv them over by hand, and they magically show up on the list).

It also seems that courier-imap-3.0.8.20041129 (on a test box accessing the same maildirs) doesn't handle filesystem shared folders at all, when trying to open one from 3.0.7 - deleted all the article symlinks (after insisting on opening etc/shared/index - which was previously delegated only to "virtual shared folders")

thanks, -ericb
