It's a bit annoying to implement. I could of course always just kludge it in some way, but perhaps when shared mailbox support is finished this could be implemented more easily:
[...]
- Write the mail to some temporary mailbox
- Copy it to the users' mailboxes. With maildir_copy_with_hardlinks=yes this'll make them hardlinks
The temporary mailbox is needed because otherwise it's possible that the message gets expunged before it's copied to all the users' mailboxes.
Good point, I did not think of that - some user's sieve script could expunge the message... So - good luck with shared folders! :)
