Hmm. Yes, I suppose that would be possible nowadays with maildir. With 
mbox the problem is that if you're using multiple UIDs for users the 
index file permissions get set wrong. Unless you store indexes 
separately for each user.

namespace public {
   separator = .
   prefix = Public.
   location = maildir:/var/mail/public
}

You'll also need to create dovecot-shared file there with permissions 
and GID you want to use for created indexes and mails.

Anyone have thoughts how to do this best with mboxes?
