Just a "me too" - I generally have no less than four IMAP clients hitting my account and I've never had any problems. From what I gather, this is by design. We also recently setup a shared account for people handling billing. Not only does sharing the account work in the general sense, but it seems like the answered/read flags are working properly as well for both users, so they are able to see what messages the others have already read and/or responded to. Both are using Thunderbird, FWIW. This was a very simple solution for non-techie people that they seem very happy with.
