I can't understand what you mean... Do you see a problem in that? Thanks Luca Bertoncello (lucabert at lucabert.de)

Do you see a problem in that?I think the question is "is it a problem for multiple clients to access the same account"?? (Ignore the part about people.)? If so, then, no, this is the same as having my phone, my tablet, my work computer, my home computer, ... all having access to my mail account. -- Jeff Abrahamson +33 6 24 40 01 57 +44 7920 594 255 http://p27.eu/jeff/
You will face additional problems with this approach, the first user who reads a message will mark it as read for consecutive users. It's better to make a public mailbox for that but that involves more complex setup And dovecot is not so admin friendly on this matter from my experience so far.

Sharing IMAP accounts poses no technical problems, we do that all the time. It might pose GDPR / confidentiality problems however, depending on the type of mails in the account and on the legal situation.
