I was looking at this problem recently but donu2019t have a good working systemyet.See Courier Shared foldersI have the group method sortof working on a test machine the 8 people aremembers of a group that has readwrite access to the mail folders on the IMAPserver. The server needs to be configured to set the group access on newmessages and preserve it as the users create subfolders. In the variant I hadthe common account is placed as a subfolder in each useru2019s account using asymbolic link they login is themselves and see the common mail in a separatefolder from their own inbox. Much as one user can have the same account on twodevices you answer on one device it shows as answered on the other any ofthe 8 users could read or answer an email and the other 7 would see the statuschange. All 8 have an additional role as the common account so they can allsend thatu2019s easy.This avoids the security issues associated with sharing passwords one personleaves so you have to change the common password then the others have to besecurely sent the new password and not be locked out if they are on vacationor working at home.
