Basically, your virtual_alias_maps need to resolve the recipient email 
address (such as contact at example.org) to whatever is the value of the 
"postuser: " setting in imapd.conf(5), followed by a "+", followed by 
the absolute folder path (i.e. "shared/contact at example.org", or perhaps 
in your case, "Example/Contact at example.org").

You then also need to make sure that "anyone" has the "p" right on said 
folder (this is for "post", short for "post via LMTP", not the same as 
"insert", and does not imply "l" nor "r").
