In principle you could use the Unix group mechanism - each of the users could be the member of the same group. However courier-imap doesn't support this, and would need to be changed in a lot of places: in particular, messages in the Maildir and all metadata files would have to be created mode 660 not mode 600. However you can easily create virtual mail accounts for those users, in a smooth process, without a 'big bang'. For example, enable authuserdb before authpam, and then create virtual accounts in userdb one at a time as needed.
