You can't do this with symlinks. I think the only possibility currently is that you'd have to create a separate namespace for these two users containing all their shared mailboxes. As for how to define user-specific namespaces, that depends on what userdb you use.. Also one possibility would be to use post-login scripting. http://wiki.dovecot.org/PostLoginScripting may be helpful and creating new NAMESPACE_* environments. Hopefully Dovecot v1.2 will have proper shared mailbox support and there's no need for all this kludging.
