IIRC, firstly the 'top level' folder, just contains all the shared
mailboxes, and isn't actually a mailbox in it's self.

Secondly, I'm not sure about creating subfolders, but IIRC, only
someone with access to the file system, and write permissions to the
'top level' folder, can create a shared mailbox.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

For me, the concept of shared folders, is going to be emails for
certain 'virtual users' will go into a shared folder, that other users
can then all read, and respond to if needed. I'm still playing around,
because what I need requires some weird stuff, including shared
indexes for some folders, and private indexes for others.

For some people, a shared folder is just that. Got an email you want
all your co-workers to see, maybe there is a jokes shared folder, that
you can all copy your jokes into!

What do YOU want to do with them? I'm sure there is probably a way for
it to be made possible, if you can clearly define what you want done!
