There's some directions at 
http://www.flatmtn.com/computer/Linux-Imap-UW.html (found by googling uw 
imap shared folders) but I'm not sure I follow them. It looks like it's 
just setting up another IMAP account that happens to be shared....

I use cyrus-imap, and it seems to have fairly straight-forward support 
for shared/public folders from what little I've played with them.

HTH,
