[Dovecot] Shared mailboxes and accessing MailDir not through IMAP

[Jon]

Ive been using it for 6 months and I log in from home and from work 
(somtime both my laptop and my workstation) and trough 
Squirrelmail(webmail). I know the users(my co-workers) do the same. 
Without shared mailboxes. Just to the same account.

It works fine :-)
