I don't know; I'm not a regular user of mutt. I've heard it's possible,
though.

Um... it probably would. But again, it depends on the mail client.
Pine, for example, wouldn't have any trouble - it supports user-definable
collections of folders (IMAP & NNTP), and specifiying different folder
hierarchies (ie "shared." and "INBOX.") on the same server is fairly
painless.

Actually, I have a newer version of courier-imap:
ii courier-imap 1.0-2 IMAP daemon with PAM and Maildir support
Probably makes all the difference in the world.
