I probably have some problem to understand, but I'm using different kind of
configuration, and all are working, where some "client" ("" because are
internal...) would like to have a single account used by a group and some
client like to have personal account.

For the first type I had to manage problems related at the fact that I
cannot/I don't have a distribution list with the names of the member of the
group, managed by using local /etc/aliases

The second one want to see its ticket but would like to see collegue tickets
as well (company ticket). This is managed creating a customer company having
an ID (customerID) and then associating this ID in customerID at the
customer_user profile.

Incoming mail, are filtered and are associated with che
correct X-OTRS-CustomerNo (customerID) and the corresponding X...Queue and
so on...

Is the second situation that Daniel is not able to recreate ?
