Thanks for the help but no, I didn't change the config for those kind of
thing. And just to be 100% sure. I just checked again. I don't use
altnamespace.

For what I understand, if I change this altnamespace to true (as default
now) my user would see some CHANGE....and that is something they don't like
;-)

So I keep it exact same config as before. 

Is they are any «problem» to have a mailbox called shared ? 

127.0.0.1> lm shared
shared (\HasChildren)
127.0.0.1> lam shared
127.0.0.1>

root@imap:~# /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/mbpath shared
/bals/uuid/o/m/om2uth6kko5uaghy96e8pogd
root@imap:~# cd /bals/uuid/o/m/om2uth6kko5uaghy96e8pogd/
root@imap:/bals/uuid/o/m/om2uth6kko5uaghy96e8pogd# ls -l
total 10
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 164 Oct 11 10:02 cyrus.header
-rw------- 1 cyrus mail 160 Oct 11 10:02 cyrus.index
root@imap:/bals/uuid/o/m/om2uth6kko5uaghy96e8pogd#

knowing I didn't put any acl on it...so no one would be able to do
anything. 

Regards.
