Hello.
As far as I know, mbox local folders are not intended to be used by more
than one TB instance, which would explain the hangs you saw trying to do
so. (You could test though by creating them on a test machine, closing
TB, denying write permissions on the whole local folder tree at the file
system level, then start TB and see if it hangs when trying to access
them. I suspect it will. You can also try setting up a test maildir tree
this way (still write-denied) and see if TB handles that any better,
before adding in the extra complexity of a network folder.) TB creates
indexes of each folder and needs to be able to write to do this, so my
guess is that on a write-protected tree, at best, TB would appear to
hang as it re-generates the index each time any folder is accessed.
Since IMAP is designed for concurrent access, can you not create a
single additional IMAP account used only for the shared folders and add
that to each user's TB instance? This way you only have to increase or
disable the quota on this one account.
