Configure a new account with the credentials of the group account.
Change the main groupware folder to point to this account.
Sync a couple of times to create the folders.
Now you can change the main groupware folder setting back to your regular 
account. 
Set permissions on the folders so that your regular users
and others have the necessary rights to the folders.

Log in as maintainer or admin in the web admin interface and modify the
group account, look at the input field "email delegates".
