The problem is hierarchy separator. If you have user@example.com, the mailbox looks like:
shared.user@example.com.INBOX
And Dovecot thinks you're opening "user@example"'s "com.INBOX" mailbox. So you can't really use domains with '.' separator. One solution would be to use another separator, like '/'. Another would be to create separate namespaces for each domain, like:
namespace shared { prefix = shared.example_com. location = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/%%n/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%n@example.com }
