Hello Antoine,

having the ability to control the acl/shared mailboxes of dovecot also from modoboa could be very useful in many use cases:

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL

-Paul

Has this issue been closed without any attempts to provide the functionality. If Modoboa is intended for serious use in professional environments them this is not a function that should be left to users using command-line utilities. For example nowhere in the native webmail interface can you add another mailbox like your managers or your gmail so it's all in the same interface. It was suggested to use SOGo but no direction as to how to install SOGo to integrate with Modoboa. For example would it just be install the client on your computer or installing the groupware on the modoboa server?

Could this be sponsored?

@bossey1 I guess so but it will require a bit of work so the amount might be expensive for this one...

How much would you need to implement this?

@Mishka6783 I haven't checked that yet. Is that something you'd be ready to sponsor?

Yes it is something I would be ready to sponsor based on the amount. I know a couple of other users that would likely chip in too.

Hi,
I really need this feature too and would be happy to help sponsor its development. It would be a great addition to Modoboa

@Mishka6783 @Jer0m3 Some questions:

  • Where would you put such a feature?
  • Which users should be allowed to define ACLs?

As with features such as creating a new mailbox, etc., it should lie with
the Admin to allow share permissions per request.

@Mishka6783 @Jer0m3 @bossey1 I now have a better idea of the work to do. Someone is already OK to sponsor half the amount I evaluated (3k€) so feel free to contact me in order to complete the sponsoring.
