However, I wonder if I am the one who needs different group-based mailboxes in a shared namespace ... I think it can't be that complicated?!

I think most people are happy with having a single uid+gid for all users.

Maybe the common way to go instead is to create a "virtual mail" mail group where all users belong to (and assign with mail_access_groups=sharedmail) and do all group-permissions solely with the ACL plugin?

That's one possibility too, sure.

But yeah, it would be nice if it was easier to do these things with multiple groups.. v2.1 now makes this simpler:
