We implement shared folders in a completely namespace independend way.
- users mail dir is ~/Mail
- inside there is a symlink to the shared folders
- the access rights are managed via the group
- watch the rights you're giving away!

Only drawback so far:
- Microsoft OE sometimes kicks the users out of a selected box if another user
  is opening it.
- Microsoft OE is piece of crap for imap
- namespaces would be much better
