The problem with this solution is that there are shared folders for different groups in Shared and dovecot will return an internal error when trying to list a mailbox for which the user doesn't have read permissions. See this thread for details: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.mail.imap.dovecot/23528 That's why I had to write a post-login script that dynamically adds only those directories as seperate namespaces to which the current user has read-access. Btw. I found out that if I create an empty directory "Shared/<mailboxname>/.INBOX/", Mails in "Shared/<mailboxname>" (not those in ".INBOX") are shown as a subfolder named INBOX in the client. (Mails in "Shared/<mailboxname>/.INBOX" are ignored.) Maybe there is a way to persuade the client to show those INBOX-Mails directly in "Shared/<mailboxname>"?
