Hi, i am trying to create shared folders...

i have used "maildirmake" that comes with courier-imap package...

i have suppose two user's user1 & user2...

it has created the shared folder.....

as a user1 i shared my folder to user2 and user2 has "soft" links to user1's folder..as done by "maildirmake"

i have done following as user1....

maildirmake -S /home/user1/Maildir maildirmake -s write -f mySHARED /home/user1/Maildir

shared-maildirs file contains USER1SHARE /home/user1/Maildir

Now as user2 i have created only

shared-maildir which contains

USER2SHARE /home/user1/Maildir

when i used as user1 IMAP and list command showed "shared.USER1SHARE.mySHARED" "shared.USER1SHARE." "shared" "INBOX" etc

(this automatically creates a folder namded "shared-folders" for user1 & 2 both in their Maildirs.)

when user2 used IMAP it showed "shared.USER2SHARE.mySHARED" <----user1's folder. etc.......

Now the problem is that it is not showing mails (means not fetching mails) to user2 since there permission r not group writeable. (original belongs to user1) but user1 can fetch no porbs...

if i changed permissions manually i can fetch mails

when i select shared.USER1SHARE.mySHARED it only shows the "exists and recent mails" in shared.USER2SHARED.mySHARED

So how can i fetch those mails without changing permissions manually ....from user2 account (since the qmail makes it only owner readable)

why the permissions r not set even i used ( "maildirmake -s write mySHARED/home/user1/Maildir") with "write" option....

ur suggestion would be a greate help for me..... thanks KUNAL.....
