shared folders not working with . separator

[Hugh Bragg]

Thanks, this helped.
I added namespace virtual and removed the virtual references from inbox
namespace and added list = yes so now I can see shared folder in the client.
There's still nothing in there though.

I followed Christian's advice, debug shows this very strange behaviour.
doveadm acl debug -u user1 at domain1.com.au shared.user2 at domain2.com.au
doveadm(user1 at domain1.com.au): Error: Mailbox 'com.au' in namespace
'shared.user2 at domain2.' doesn't exist in
/var/mail/vhosts/domain2/user2/mail/.com.au
There are no errors in the log.

This looks like a bug. I was seeing this before I got the shared folder
working when I saw dovecot had created these extra folders and added
dovecot-acl-list file there.
I suppose if I'd used the / separator, this would work fine, but there
was nothing about this on the wiki so I didn't expect this.
