Since I'm guessing you don't want to hear the reasons that this won't work
(synchronizing UIDs and flags, for example, is hard), I won't go into
that.  Instead I'll answer your main question directly.

Admin users can authorize as any user they want.  So simply have the admin
user authorize as each user, and they can get to that mailbox with no
trouble.

Note that if you SELECT a mailbox as a user, it *will* change the state of
\Recent flags for the user.
