You create a public aka shared folder on the server and everyone can subscribe 
if the ACLs permit. Mail is sent to the public folder either via IMAP (e.g. 
d&d) or via SMTP.

The follwing rules apply:

Email Address of shared folder is UID+foldername at kolab.domain 

Where UID is the UID of the folder's OWNER, and foldername is the name of the 
shared folder to which you're sending mail. 

Note:
Mail incorrectly addressed to a shared folder's address will be delivered to 
the INBOX of the shared folder's owner. 

I just also added this missing info in our documentation in cvs.
