Hello Timo,

Hey. That was the problem. Sorry for the confusion. I think I have to
read the Maildir specification a second time.

Thank you!

A few small issues remains open:

dovecot tries to create directories (at least "cur") just below the
location: 
location = maildir:/var/spool/imap/shared

dovecot: IMAP(jochen): mkdir(/var/spool/imap/shared/cur) failed: Permission denied

There I now have only the (meanwhile subscribible) .aatest.

Btw: Which permissions are required for read-only shared Maildir
boxes? Dovecot itself runs under root account but it seems that the
children changes to the user, which is actually logged in?
