from a 'normal' folder in the symlink directory, (other than
it shows as a link rather than a directory with ls -al) 
However, I can't see the folder in Thunderbird - it doesn't
show up in the list of folders to subscribe too.  I tried
adding it to subscribe.lst to no avail.

The folder 'inbox' is special, if you did the same thing
using a top 
level folder instead it would be more likely to work.
Or if you want it in the inbox then the folder name is 'new'
not 
'INBOX', however, this is not supported.


Instead I recommend you upgrade to http://netwi
nsite.com/ftp/misc/l1.tar.gz
then use a real shared folder using the config settings:

	g_imap_acl "true"

Then in your imap client mark the folder as shared for the
other user.

Or you can create a shared folder using the domain
setting:	
vdomain xxx
	imap_public ...
