Dovecot 2.2 + Postfix 2.1 Public folder namespace:

location = maildir:/domain/public:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/index/public

I have a public folder "sales" for group of users. All messages that are sent to sales@domain.com fall into this directory. Sometimes users moves letters to another folder. Then CRM system checks these letters.

I need to understand witch user moved the letter to the folder. Is there any way to get this information, or mark a letters header? Dovecot debug mode does not give such information.

Dovecot's logging will not really help you with this, unless you enable rawlog, but I don't think parsing IMAP sessions is a good thing to do.

Have a look at Dovecot's plugins: there are several ways that might help you building some kind of notification system.

  • The Mail Logger plugin can (among other things) can log copy operations (move operations are likely to be implemented as copy and delete) and will log lines like

    imap(user): copy -> Trash: uid=908, msgid=<123.foo@bar>

    You can even limit logging to the specific operations you're looking for. Observe this log with some kind of daemon that triggers upon specific log lines.

  • Use the notify API to implement your own plugin, which directly triggers from within Dovecot.
