That should work. Or you could symlink them directly into your boss's  
maildir.

Right. Or use a post-login scripting to test if ~/Maildir/shared  
exists and then define the namespace. Or define the namespace in  
dovecot.conf and use post-login script to drop it if it's not found.  
I've in my TODO that Dovecot could do this dropping automatically if  
some setting is enabled (optional=yes or something).

I don't think so.
