OT Shared Imap folders/accounts

[Ken A]

Dovecot should be happy on Centos3. It'll handle simultaneous access, 
and shared mailboxes, or shared folders just fine.
http://atrpms.net/dist/el3/dovecot-1.0.x/ should work, or grab the 1.1 
version from dovecot.org and build it for a better feature set.
See http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration too.
