Hai,

Shared folders are fully functional, only they are no longer valid
email addresses anymore. As explained , I could for instance
create a shared folder in the management web interface, add a
few users as valid for that folder , give them the permissions they
need , and use that as a mailgroup. e.g :
create folder info and info@<my domain> could be used as a mailgroup,
and e.g. set in the specific users reply-to in the mail-client info@<my 
domain>, very conveniant, but that doesn't work anymore , if I create a
shared folder now, users that are given access see the folder as:
<folder name>.public , and <folder name>@<my domain> is not a valid
email address anymore, so no mailgroup <folder name>@<my domain>.
They can use the shared folder though, put messages in it or whatever 
but that's not the same.
I have to find a way now that the kolab administrator can create an 
email account , and see to it that its mailbox gets shared with valid users 
with specific permissions like read, write, append etc. , in the web 
interface. That account is not a regular user though, with a first name and 
last name and such, it's a general mailbox, kolab offers no real option
to create something like that.
