Thanks for the clarification. Did you have a comment on the point of my post?
So, I'm soliciting suggestions on either:
1) Automatically moving mail from the support inbox to the support shareable folder. Can I simply run a copy command in cron?
You might be able to do that provided that you use mv instead of cp; both maildirs are on the same filesystem; and before mv you set global read permissions on the file.
The documentation makes it sound like I need to do the movement from an inbox to a shareable folder using the imap client. Is this a job for the maildrop program? (I'm using the postfix default).
No, it's the job of the IMAP client. maildrop is not an IMAP client. The actual task is done by the server, which sets the permissions properly, it's the IMAP client that issues the command to the server.
