I'm afraid it's not possible in the general case without major name
mangling on the shared mailboxes, which is why we just don't allow it.

I have CC'd Ken, who might also have some ideas.  Ken - do you see
super-strong reasons to enforce the "no sharing over domains?  The
biggest issue I can see is unixhs being off by default - so you can't
share it as:

user.username at domain.com.subfolder

because of the dots.

user/username at domain.com/subfolder would work fine (you can already emulate
this by turning OFF virtdomains... as I discovered when people reported bugs
in it.

But best of all would be unixhs on and altnamespace, so it's:

INBOX
Sent
Other Users/username at domain.com/...

The other alternative is to expose our internal structure even more, so people
see:

domain.com!user.username.subfolder

But that will probably cause massive pain to clients.
