I concur with Larry's opinion on this issue.

begin  quotation by Lawrence Greenfield on 2003/4/3 15:47 -0500:
If LIST "" % doesn't show the "shared" hierarchy, many e-mail clients
will hide it from the user and make the shared hierarchy
inaccessible. (For instance, it would be impossible for users to
access the shared hierarchy without a NAMESPACE aware client.) I would
recommend naming it "Shared Folders" as that is what many other IMAP
servers use.
Many IMAP servers do the "Shared Folders" as a nesting inside of the
personal namespace and it works quite well.
