Summary:                    [patch] Addition of a Mailbox id facility to allow
shared mailboxes to work
Description: 
When a user is set up to share a mailbox using IMAP as the backing store
then messages posted into the mailbox are only visible to that user. For
example
with 2 users having the following voice mailbox definitions:

6000 => 6000,Shared mailbox,shared at example.com,,|imapuser=sharedmail
6001 => 6001,Shared mailbox,shared at example.com,,|imapuser=sharedmail

the voicemail is stored in a common folder and can be accessed via a mail
client as common data but each user receives just the messages that were
left for them.

I have implemented a patch against 1.4.21.2 which adds a new option
'imapmbxid' that allows all users to see all messages left for that mbxid.

This is used as follows.

6000 => 6000,Shared
mailbox,shared at example.com,,|imapuser=sharedmail,imapmbxid=6000
6001 => 6001,Shared
mailbox,shared at example.com,,|imapuser=sharedmail,imapmbxid=6000

and then when retrieving records the users are presented with all of the
records.

Add new configuration option to make shared IMAP mailboxes function as
expected.

The new option is "imapvmshareid" which is an ID to tag multiple mailboxes
using the same IMAP storage location to function as one mailbox. This
allows
all messages to be retrieved for any user in the group. The patch alters
the
'X-Asterisk-VM-Extension' header that is responsible for matching
voicemails
for a given user.
