Hi!
I'd like to provide shared mailboxes with maildir that should appear
like 'Shared/<mailboxname>' to the clients.

Using the namespace configuration below, everything works fine, exept
one thing: Mail clients (only tested with Thunderbird) won't allow to
put mails directly in 'Shared/mailboxname' (the folder it is greyed
out). You currently have to create subfolders and put the mails in those
subfolders.

Is there any workaround for this problem?

-------------------- 8< --------------------
namespace private {
  separator = /
  inbox = yes
  prefix =
  location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
}

namespace shared {
  separator = /
  # hidden = yes
  prefix = Shared/spamrep/
  location =
maildir:/var/spool/mail/Shared/spamrep:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control/Shared/spamrep:INDEX=~/Mail\
dir/index/Shared/spamrep
}
-------------------- 8< --------------------

I'm using dovecot 1.0.8.

"Server supports folders that contain subfolders and messages" is
enabled in Thunderbird's advanced server settings.

Thanks in advance,

Because AFAIK you can't create messages in prefix folder. Make your 
prefix less longer like
prefix = Shared/
