I don't have any other access than IMAP.

Ah, OK, that's worth trying.

My problems actually were related to the problem that either new messages 
or new folders were not chgrp()'ed to doveshared. However, my idea was to 
selectively chgrp shared folders only. I will dig again into this problem 
eventually, currently I ditched my test server.
