Hi

I have a working courier-imap server on my Debian Etch private server ; users are virtual, authentificatin goes through mysql. It's been working good for years.

I would like to share an imap folder between 2 users.

I thought I would just have to do something like this :

cd path/to/mailusers/dir
ln -s path/to/user1/maildir/.folder_to_be_synched path/to/user2/maildir/

After I entered the command, I found that user2 saw a new folder in its imap client, but the folder appeared empty.

It is not a permission problem because all the virtual users have the same permissions on the file system.

Any idea what I could do ?

thanks
