No it's not. Virtual shared folders are only available for virtual users. I would use this as an opporutunity to move your users over to a virtual setup (LDAP, MySQL, userdb). Unless your users specifically need shell access, it's a waste of effort and a security hole to give it to them. If they need it, authpam could authenticate them to the same external user database that Courier uses (LDAP, possibly MySQL). You could even allow shell access to only certian users who need it.
