Is it possible to setup shared folders between virtual users on the same server?
yes it is - here's the starting point within the documentation:

My attempts thus far seem without results.
What should I expect to see, if anything, in each account for a successful "share"? Sadly, I see no apparent change in the displayed folder structure using Thunderbird (most recent AFAICT).
I created and can see, in the folder structure of "user a" a symlink to "user b", but see no apparent difference in either account, after exit and restart of Thunderbird.
Restart of dovecot was also done.
To be a bit more explicit (hopefully) There is a symlink in "/home/vmail/usera/Maildir/.Cabinet.folder_name" to "/home/vmail/userb/Maildir/.Cabinet.name_2_share_as", both owned by vmail:vmail, do at first thought, I should not have to fiddle with file system rights. Wrong?

I am only just starting to use Dovecot as well as Thunderbird as replacements for a legacy system, so am still at the "beginner" stage with both, so my queries may seem inane to some.
Bearing that in mind, it seems "shared folders" may not be possible in the sense/context I am familiar with, at least the way I have been attempting it.
Found the Thunderbird client has a "sharing" option for folders yet states "This server does not support shared folders"
So, is "folder sharing" something that has actually been done with Dovecot/Thunderbird? If so, suggestions on where I may have gone wrong?
