Dovecot doesn't YET have proper/full folder sharing support, but you
can still accomplish it easily enough...

Thank you for the responses. The information there is helpful, but not
quite what I was thinking. The documentation looks at sharing an mbox
or Maildir file among multiple accounts. I was thinking more along the
lines of a single account that multiple users can log into, perhaps
simultaneously.
For the sake of learning, I have been testing a single account while
using thunderbird, outlook, and eudora simultaneously on the same
account. It mostly gets notifications when a file is moved/deleted,
etc. This seemed like an adequate solution in my mind.
So my question, is sharing an mbox file among multiple accounts, or
having multiple people log into the same account the preferred/safer way
to go?
