Sorry for the confusion, I forgot to mention that we have usernames with
a '.' in it. The separator and those usernames together with shared
folders, won't work.

Sorry, I'll use easily then... ;)

Double denial there.. ;)
Why 3 different configs? It's for historic reasons, and probably they
can be combined into one.

So if I understand this right, the separator as a '.' and sieve rules
like this with a dot in the foldername:..

if allof (header :contains ["Return-path"] ["@dovecot.org"]) {
        fileinto "Maillist.Dovecot";
    }

won't be affected with only one of both imap configs having '/' as a
separator.
