It is a separate unique copy in each mailbox.

With the above configuration it would still exist in the other mailboxes
as well. If you want one person deleting it to affect everybody I would
assume that you would need to keep the messages in a single "shared"
mailbox (the 101 Admin mailbox in the above example). I'm not sure what
your setup is but most channel types support checking multiple mailboxes
to send a MWI. So you could alert the user if there was a message
waiting in their personal mailbox or the "group" one.

mailbox=101,102,103 in zapata.conf, sip.conf, etc...
