Beside that i guess it would still not allow users to create folders via 
thunderbird by right click on shared/[username] and selecting new 
folder. Seems the only workaround is to create an separate folder share 
him and set acls on that folder so the hierarchy would end up linke this

Inbox
Trash
...
shared/[username] (users inbox)
shared/[username]/folder (the helper folder with proper acl's)
shared/[username]/folder/[subfolders]

and if there are subfolders in the inbox

shared/[username]/INBOX/[subfolder]
