[Dovecot] Sharing Folders - or views?

Hi All

Running Dovecot v1.0.3 on FC 6.

We have a Dovecot account which contains folders used by all staff.

Think of the account as "Customers" and the folders as "Customer-1", 
"Customer-2", "Customer-3" and so on.

We currently have around 650 of these customer folders.

The problem is that there are currently 12 members of staff who need to 
see a subset of these folders (i.e. the customers that they are the 
manager for) but who also need to see (sometimes) the entire range of 
customer folders.

Ideally what they would like to see is this kind of layout:

+Personal Folders
   Inbox
   Trash
   Copies
+ My Customers
   Cust-1
   Cust 7
   Cust-25
   Cust 33
+ All Customers
   Cust-1
   Cust-2
   Cust-3
   Cust-4
   Cust-5
   Cust-6
   Cust-7
   etc

I suppose we could achieve this with symlinks but thought I would ask in 
case there is a "clever" way to achieve the same end.

Thanks and Regards

Nigel.
