Hi,
when configuring the shared namespace like this:
location = imapc:%%h/Maildir
It only works because imapc using Maildir format internally too. This way
Dovecot is told to use the sharing users home as the location for imapc indexes
for the current user. That is probably the reason for the troubles with the lock
transaction file. You should change it to something like this:
location = imapc:~/shared/%%u
When configured like this, the current user will store indexes for accessing the
shared mailbox under the "shared" prefix in it's home directory
and create folders for each user that shared mailboxes to the current user.
Using INDEXPVT additionally allows to store user private \Seen flags to shared
mailboxes, so you could also choose to run without it.
All of that is not really possible as long as you can not use
"acl_ignore_namespace" because access to any "shared" prefix
will always be denied by acl.
