I have dovecot-shared in the directory. The part that kept throwing
me was that the user was a member if the group (cs). I finally
discovered that adding a user to the group must be accompanied by
adding userdb_system_user=username to the imap.passwd file.
Yes, if all your users are also system users. Another possibility
would have been to set userdb_mail_access_groups=groupname. Or just
change the primary gid to that group.
