It seems that I remember someone saying that Dovecot doesn't support sharing IMAP folders. Does anyone else know for sure? I believe that is a requirement for the Kolab system. I just read about Kolab, so I am no expert.

Not yet. It needs at least ANNOTATEMORE extension support, which I'm not really planning on doing anytime soon.

that's said since currently kolab seems to be the only alternative for exchange server on the linux side. and until than everybody have to use exchange or cyrus-imap:-(

It's not that I don't want to implement it, but it's just not its time yet. :) Dovecot's core functionality needs to be fully working first.
After v1.0 I'll probably do a larger redesign for how mailbox lists are handled. That should result in support for:
- Mixed mbox/maildir/etc. directories with autodetection when opening. Also the mbox code will be made more generic and then we can easily support MMDF and other mbox-like flat file mailbox formats.
- Mailbox list indexes, allowing superfast LIST and STATUS replies
- Arbitrary per-mailbox metadata, allowing ANNOTATEMORE, ACLs, CONDSTORE and whatever else requires storing per-mailbox metadata
