A-ha, that makes sense. I don't use shared folders because I have mail 
groups set up in the LDAP server and use maildap (distributed with 
OpenLDAP) to change message envelope recipients from the group name to 
all the members of the group. It's very nice if you want to have 
hierarchies of groups within groups, and for us at least serves the same 
purpose as shared folders.
