Not really with 0.99.10. But it's mostly because the file permissions
get set wrong (dovecot-uidlist especially). With symlinks and fixed
permissions (use the source) you could do it if you really wanted to :)

1.0-tests have a bit better support for them. You can create
dovecot-shared named file in maildir root with wanted permissions (0666)
and those will be used for the files. It also supports private per-user
message flags for readonly mailboxes (or did at some point, I'm not sure
if they still work).

Of course, 1.0-tests are still broken.
