First of all, for anything IMAP-related I'd strongly recommend you pick
up the latest mutt beta (currently 1.3.22.1), since that code has
changed quite a lot.
Second, what do you mean by 'shared data'? Are the mailboxes you're
accessing all on IMAP?
And finally, what server are you using? (you can find this out by
telnetting to the host and port (143 by default) of your server and
reading the welcome line).
