    Hello,
    I have activated the shared mailbox function in dovecot which works well, but I have a problem with sent messages.
    When a user replies to a mail in the shared folder's inbox, the mail is copied to his personal Sent folder and not the Sent folder of the shared mailbox.
    Whether it's with Thunderbird or Roundcube, I don't see how to solve this problem.

    "Sent" folders are client behavior, nothing the server controls. I don't use thunderbird; rouncube seems to only have a single setting for the sent folder.

    Hi,
    sorry for hijacking this thread, but maybe you can help me with my futile attempts to set acl and shared imap up, i just can't seem to get it to work.

    My current status is that I can share an IMAP folder with a user, but that user cannot see the folder and therefore cannot subscribe to it.
    in the IMAP tree of the receiving user only a folder "shared" appears instead of a folder "shared/[email protected]", so no subfolder at all.
    I think there is something wrong with the shared namespace and maybe also with the permissions?

    The setup is one with ISPConfig and doovecot 2.3.10.1, as separator we have a dot, so . not /

    Code:
    dovecot -n:
    > # 2.3.10.1 (a3d0e1171): /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

    The file /var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes is created automatically and has the following contents when shared from [email protected] to [email protected]:

    Code:
    shared/shared-boxes/user/[email protected]/[email protected]

    If you need anything else let me know,
    Would be great if you could help us.
    thanks a ton

    No problem, I forgot to thanks Jesse, I had finally figured out how to solve my problem with the help of signatures in thunderbird.
    For your problem tafkaz, I don't have many differences with your config. Yours is even more complete than mine (which may also include errors)
    What changes is my shared_dict name is shared-mailboxes.db and my shared namespace location is location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
    For separators, I used /

    Code:
    protocol imap {
      mail_plugins = quota imap_quota acl imap_acl
    }
    Code:
    plugin {
      # Without global ACLs:
      acl = vfile
      acl_shared_dict = file:/var/lib/dovecot/db/shared-mailboxes.db
    }
    Code:
    namespace inbox {
      # Namespace type: private, shared or public
      type = private
    
      # Hierarchy separator to use. You should use the same separator for all
      # namespaces or some clients get confused. '/' is usually a good one.
      # The default however depends on the underlying mail storage format.
      separator = /
    
      # Prefix required to access this namespace. This needs to be different for
      # all namespaces. For example "Public/".
      #prefix =
    
      # Physical location of the mailbox. This is in same format as
      # mail_location, which is also the default for it.
      #location =
    
      # There can be only one INBOX, and this setting defines which namespace
      # has it.
      inbox = yes
    
      # If namespace is hidden, it's not advertised to clients via NAMESPACE
      # extension. You'll most likely also want to set list=no. This is mostly
      # useful when converting from another server with different namespaces which
      # you want to deprecate but still keep working. For example you can create
      # hidden namespaces with prefixes "~/mail/", "~%u/mail/" and "mail/".
      #hidden = no
    
      # Show the mailboxes under this namespace with LIST command. This makes the
      # namespace visible for clients that don't support NAMESPACE extension.
      # "children" value lists child mailboxes, but hides the namespace prefix.
      #list = yes
    
      # Namespace handles its own subscriptions. If set to "no", the parent
      # namespace handles them (empty prefix should always have this as "yes")
      #subscriptions = yes
    
      # See 15-mailboxes.conf for definitions of special mailboxes.
     
    }
    
    namespace {
      type = shared
      separator = /
    
      # Mailboxes are visible under "shared/user@domain/"
      # %%n, %%d and %%u are expanded to the destination user.
      prefix = shared/%%u/
    
      # Mail location for other users' mailboxes. Note that %variables and ~/
      # expands to the logged in user's data. %%n, %%d, %%u and %%h expand to the
      # destination user's data.
      location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
    
      # Use the default namespace for saving subscriptions.
      #subscriptions = no
    
      # List the shared/ namespace only if there are visible shared mailboxes.
      #list = children
     
    }
    I used Roundcube to set permissions on each mailbox folders in acl dictionnary

    Hi @user848429 , will try again with your namespace location, and come back.
    thanks

    Hm...tried quite a few things now, based on your config and i think we're getting somewhere...but still no shared folders.
    What i get in the logs though is quite interesting:

    However i can't really find anything about
    Panic: Module context acl_storage_module missing


    Is my dovecot version too old maybe?
    here's what's installed at the moment:
