Sorry for not replying earlier. I've asked the guy who set this up but
he hasn't got back to me yet. Anyway, on our server I see a structure
like this (from Evo):

Inbox
Folder 1
Folder 2
Junk
Public Folder
  Subfolder 1
  Subfolder 2
Trash
Whatever

I see the same thing from Thunderbird and from our Webmail system (based
on IMP).

Note that our Cyrus is configured in "anonymous root" mode rather than
the default "Inbox root" you seem to have, but I can't believe that
makes a difference wrt shared folders.

I'll write again if I get further info.
