Shared Mailboxes and Postfix

Hello (yet) again,

I had some tips that because I had unixheirarchysep turned on in imapd.conf, I
needed to address my mail to "Conference/News" instead of "Conference+News" but
that, unfortunately, hasn't worked either.  Are there any other tips out there
I could be following?  Thanks for your time!
