[Dovecot] SharedMailboxes in a distributed environment

[Christian Rohmann]

Hello folks,

I'd like your thoughts on the following problem:

If one is using v1.2+ IMAP ACLs to allow users to share their mailbox
and uses SQL as dictionary backend, every dovecot server would know
which ACLs to enforce. But as the wiki states here
"http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared" dovecot needs access to
the other mailbox. Does that automatically mean that one dovecot machine
needs to have filesystem access to the all mailboxes that are to be shared?

Is there no way to share mailboxes (folders) between different servers?
(apart from using NFS i.e.)
