This is possible, we use this in combination with roundcube to share 
folders.
Users log in to there webmail interface and can share there folder there.
Thunderbird has an plugin also.
But the most users use Microsoft Outlook, with has as far i know no 
option to create a share.

You can create this shared folders through namespaces.
