dovecot - Nov 2012 - multiple users to same e-mail account with ldap authentication

Hi, I was looking for a particular case of dovecot configuration I
cannot find anywhere.
Is there a way dovecot can authenticate via ldap different windows
2008 AD users that have access to the same e-mail account (like user
authorization in ms exchange)?
For example I want to extend AD schema to let users have 10 email
accounts (with multiple domain support). If they are private accounts
I think there is no problem at all. But if I want two or more users to
access the same mail account what happens? Can I do it with dovecot?
Or should I create AD groups and add members to that, to let user
access the same mail account?
Cheers

Symlinks on the Dovecot maildirs?  You'd have to read up on the caveats 
of that: http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Symlinks
