Hello, and my first question

Hello list,

first of all: english is not my native language, so please forgive my minor
mistakes in spelling and grammar.

Well, I set-up an cyrus-imap (version 2.1.15), which works behind postfix
2.0.16.
The users are authenticated via saslauthdb.
That installation works fine for me till now!

Now I read some docs about shared-folders, and thought it might be
interesting for me aswell.
So I set them up using cyradm.
I can subscribe to them using Thunderbird or MS Outlook 2000 & 2003, and can
store emails within without any problems.

But: I can't send any emails directly to that shared-folders - and right now
I have no idea where the problem is.

This is my /etc/imapd.conf:
    configdirectory: /var/lib/imap
    partition-default: /var/spool/imap
    sievedir: /var/lib/sieve
    admins: cyrus root
    allowanonymouslogin: no
    autocreatequota: 10000
    reject8bit: no
    quotawarn: 90
    timeout: 30
    poptimeout: 10
    dracinterval: 0
    drachost: localhost
    sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd
    lmtp_overquota_perm_failure: no
    #
    altnamespace: yes
    userprefix: user
    #sharedprefix: shared
    postuser: share
    shareprefix: share
    unixhierarchysep: yes

And here're some lines from cyradm:
    IMAP Password:
    localhost> lm
    Entw&APw-rfe (\HasNoChildren)
    Gesendete Objekte (\HasNoChildren)
    share (\HasChildren)

    user/torsten/Spam (\HasNoChildren)
    user/torsten/Trash (\HasNoChildren)
    user/torsten/test (\HasNoChildren)
    [...]

For some reasons my /var/lib/imap/user/t/torsten.sub looks like this:
    share
    share.mailinglist
    user.torsten
    user.torsten.Entw&APw-rfe
    user.torsten.Gesendete Objekte
    user.torsten.INBOX^Drafts
    user.torsten.INBOX^Sent
    user.torsten.INBOX^Trash
    user.torsten.Junk-E-Mail
    user.torsten.Spam
    user.torsten.Trash
    user.torsten.test
(I have no idea why it looks different .....).

Could anybody tell me where the errors are?

Thanks in advance!!!
Torsten
