Nnimap 0.3.20 should be stable enough for you, I think.  Shared mail
folders isn't a problem, and nnimap has ACL editing so you can
set/edit access permissions for your group.

Support for "Bulletin boards" (where you post your articles by
APPENDing them into the mailbox instead of just mailing it somewhere)
type of mailboxes are not supported yet because we haven't looked into
this. I'm adding it to the todo-list.

No. I think there are problems with flag update forwarding. It's on
the todo list.

This could be a nice tool until nnimap support Agent operations.
