I just tried to create a mailbox without the 'shared.' prefix, as follow:

---
# cyradm --user cyrus localhost
Password:
localhost> cm shrdmailbx
localhost> sam shrdmailbx anyone p
localhost> sam shrdmailbx julien lr
localhost> sam shrdmailbx michel lrswipcd
localhost> quit
---

I set altnamespace:no and restarted cyrus.
The result is the same as before. I can subscribe and access the mailbox 
from thunderbird, but I can't from roundcube.

When i set altnamespace: yes and restart cyrus, I can access the mailbox 
'resgate' from roundcube.

I will forward that information to the roundcube's mailing list and work 
with them to solve the issue.

Thanks for your help
