At this point I need shared mailboxes but since user mail/home locations are ldap attributes, how is it supposed I must configure this for shared mailboxes?

for the users' mail/home directories I set this line:

user_attrs = mailbox=mail=maildir:/var/maildir/%$,homeFilter=home

Are home dirs and mail dirs related in any way? The only way you can get it working is by using home dirs, e.g.:

user_attrs = mailbox=home=/var/maildir/%$

yes, my virtual users have separate directories for home and mail. Their locations are stored in ldap attributes (with random generated paths), so a flat scheme like /var/maildr/%%u isn't valid.

for typical (virtual) users the location returned looks like:

Sep  8 12:48:33 imap1 dovecot: auth: Debug: ldap(user012,::1): result: mailbox(mail=maildir:/var/maildir/%$)=vol06/1/15/user012 homeFilter(home)=/var/mailfilter/vol06/1/15/user012

... Sep  8 12:54:50 imap1 dovecot: imap(user012): Debug: maildir++: root=/var/maildir/vol06/1/15/user012, index=, control=, inbox=/var/maildir/vol06/1/15/user012, alt=

Then in dovecot.conf:

mail_location = maildir:~/

...

namespace { type = shared separator = / prefix = shared/%%u/ subscriptions = no list = children

location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u

this is that I see in  logs and not shared folders are seen by imap clients:

Sep  8 12:57:11 imap1 dovecot: imap(user012): Debug: Namespace : type=shared, prefix=shared.%u., sep=., inbox=no, hidden=no, list=children, subscriptions=no location=maildir:%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%u Sep  8 12:57:11 imap1 dovecot: imap(user012): Debug: shared: root=/var/run/dovecot/, index=, control=, inbox=, alt= Sep  8 12:57:11 imap1 dovecot: imap(user012): Debug: acl: initializing backend with data: vfile

I fail to understand how %%u is retrieved from ldap...
