Did you remember to use tabs as the separator?

Attached is a mail I wrote some time ago giving a worked example of creating
shared folders. See if you can just replicate those steps.

Note that in this example I'm sharing a *folder*, not the INBOX. So
following this logic, user1@domain can create a folder "Public"
(INBOX.Public), and then grant rights to user2@domain to access it.

Or you can create a third account public@domain, create a sub-folder
"Misc" (i.e. INBOX.Misc), and then grant access to user1@domain and
user2@domain to access this folder.

I'm not sure whether the top-level INBOX of an account can be shared - you'd
have to test this if you really want to do that.

HTH,

Brian.

P.S. The problem I had with sqwebmail was solved later - I had simply
installed the shared index in the wrong location for it.
