You can implement shared folder/bulletin boards/whatever you call them with the cyrus imapd (ports/mail/cyrus-imapd). These folders have to be setup by the administrator (unless the users want to get personal with 'man cryadm') although it would be quite trivial to make a web based configuration utility for the users to do it themselves. The access control is very granular -- you could allow users B and C to read one of user A's mailboxes but only B to post to that box. Cyrus has a fairly steep learning curve (I'm learning now) but all reports say it's worth the initial headache. It's very scalable and flexible enough for almost every situation.
