This isnt an issue for bincimapd to solve since bincimapd isnt 
responsible for dropping mail to the users.

How ever you solve this, either by symlinking or hardlinking bincimapd 
will be able to atleast read the mail.

I strongly disagree by the way you are dealing with internal mail. If I 
was the sysadmin at your place I would start teaching ppl how to share 
files (if you have sharable directories in your users homedir or if you 
have share section folders somewhere, solutions are many) rather then to 
duplicate them.

If you still wish to continue I would suggest setting up a shared 
emailaddress and put a maildrop wrapper that in some way other then just 
droping the mail to the user puts a link of some kind to a read only copy.
