actually any folder where you want to receive emails has to have the p
flag. For example:

kolab lam shared/root at datenkollektiv.net
Folder shared/root at datenkollektiv.net
  p             anyone
  lrswipkxtecd  group:kollektiv

so the p for anyone ist important. The others you can set like acls for
your needs.

This should be mentioned in the kolab docs. But if you add a new shared
folder for mail this should be the default.

yes it is. but maybe you have to change the kolab addressbook settings
in a manner that it searches not only ou=people but the whole base dn.
I'm not shure if this is meanwhile the default setting.

This depends more or less on taste. Some things are possible with
accounts but not with shared folders. E.g.: sieve scripts on incoming mails.

But to have only shared folder for really shared stuff make things maybe
more clearly.
