Yes, it could be a solution. But our user's requirements are a bit of... 
strange? They want one of them to manage the folder (with subfolders) and the 
rest of them only can read messages.

Thanks anyway for your suggestion!

I updated http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes now to mention flag
sharing.

Timo and others will know more; but for me, I would just deliver the 
messages to multiple people and see that Dovecot deliver will use 
hardlinks for the multiple deliveries - that way, the message flags in the 
filename are still canonical.

Thanks anyway :)

There's no problem in disallowing the users to update the Seen flag. What I 
want is that every user have their own Seen flags.

Thank you in advance!

  

From Timo, I wanted the same thing so I patch the source each time:

src/lib-storage/index/maildir/maildir-storage.c

near line 428,
change:

to:

Actually sorry, I might have gotten that backwards.  You should be able 
to use the ACL plugin to disallow users to update Seen.
