imapd.conf options :

   altnamespace: 1
      Use the alternate IMAP namespace, where personal folders reside=20=20
at the same level in the hierarchy as INBOX.

   sharedprefix: Shared Folders
      If using the alternate IMAP namespace, the prefix for the shared=20=20
namespace.  The hierarchy delimiter will be automatically appended.

I use altnamespace: 0 therfore my shared mbox are prefixed with "" :

. NAMESPACE
* NAMESPACE (("INBOX." ".")) (("user." ".")) (("" "."))
. OK Completed

My folders are in INBOX.*
Other users folders are in user.*
Shared folders are all other folders.

shared folders in my organisation are in general organised with '-', not '.=
'.

Sincerly,
