The /var/spool/cyrus/mail/m/share/mail-test/ should correspond to a 'share.mail-test' mailbox, which you should see in a mailbox list within cyradm. That folder doesn't have any special meaning to cyrus other than it's considered to be located under the 'shared' namespace, and will not be used as any user's personal mailbox. See RFC 2342 for more details. I'd guess that putting a mailbox under the shared namespace is the way that gosa represents a group mailbox. Doing a 'listacl share.mail-test' will probably give you some idea of its purpose. -- Dan White ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
