This is IMAP, Qmail/Courier (I use Postfix) Maildir/ format o.k.? inside
a $HOME/Maildir, as well as tmp, new and cur and the "dot" subfolders,
there's a directory hierarchy called "shared-folders", without a dot as
precursor. I expect that Evo would have to recognize that. You'd have to
play about with Courier IMAP to check. I'm using 2.2.2, 2.3 is out, with
an alternative, optional shared folders system based on ACLs, so by the
time Evo 2.0 appears, perhaps the present system won't be in use any
more.

As I wrote, both Mozilla >= 1.4 and SquirrelMail 1.4.2 recognize the
present Courier shared folders.

I played around with this, maybe I did it wrong. I don't really know
what it expects.
