Hi Kevin,
You don't put anything into it by yourself.
This file only helps Dovecot to lookup shares to prevent iterating through every users mailbox. When you create a share, Dovecot places a plain-text entry inside this file. When a user logs in, Dovecot asks its acl "database" in whose mail directory it should look for a share.

An entry could look like this:
shared/shared-boxes/user/shared-for-u...@domain.tld/shared...@domain.tld

You don't have to put a .db ending to that file. You could name it shares.txt, too. Important: "file:".

Dear Andre,
Thanks for yr reply.
What do i include in the file shared-mailboxes.db ?
As in the input. Is it really plain text ?
So for example i write into the file  shared-mailbox.db  :-
sha...@domain.net
shar...@domain.net  etc...

Is it like that or what kind of syntax needs to be used?

Hi,

that looks correct. I am not sure if this was necessary, but I "touched"
the file before starting Dovecot...
You also need to have the correct permissions set.
