@girish Sounds good - will work with what we have and leave you in peace for that which I'll certainly help with testing and feedback on too.

@marcusquinn Sorry - I think I misunderstood the question

Hi @girish, You were "looking into shared mailboxes" for 5.5. I couldn't find it in the 5.5 docs...nor in the 5.6 forum discussions. Will it be coming soon?

[girish]

@oj We tried to implement this for 5.6 (via IMAP mailbox sharing) but getting this to work with SOGo+LDAP has been a nightmare. So, it's not part of the release.

I think maybe a better approach for Cloudron is to just allow a mailbox to have multiple owners (instead of the single owner now). That way they 2 users can access the same mailbox with their own password.

@girish Completely understood, that would be a happy, secure and intuitive manageable solution.

@girish Yes being able to add multiple users to the same mailbox would be great! Could really use that for a couple of my clients right now.

@girish Thanks!

@girish I was just looking up how to do something similar as the OP, and I believe this solution would be sufficient.

@lowtech For Cloudron 6, we are trying to make a group as owner of a mailbox to implement this feature.

This is implemented in Cloudron 6 ! https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/3205/what-s-coming-in-6-0-take-2/99
