I am afraid that this can't work, because if e-mail client requests folder e.g. "shared.name at example.com.some.folder" Dovecot is not able to guess where the username ends and where starts folder name. But if separator is "/" and the client requests "shared/name at example.com/some/folder" it is no problem to extract username from it and look it up in the database.
