[Dovecot] Multiple domains with shared Folder - how to?

I now tried using symlinks. Works fine, BUT:

"Note that if a user creates for example "Team News.Child mailbox" it 
gets created into the user's own Maildir, not into /home/public/Maildir/."

Our users are allowed to create subfolders in the shares (currently we 
use Cyrus). Can this be done with Docecot too?
