Unless Perdition sits right in the protocol session and is proxying on a per-command basis so that it sends some commands to one server and some to another -- and I have no idea how that would work -- then, no, you cannot connect to a shared mailbox on another partition. It is a neat idea, though! but the code would probably be absolutely brutal.
