yes. From the imapd.conf manpage:
sharedprefix: Shared Folders
If using the alternate IMAP namespace, the prefix for the
shared
namespace. The hierarchy delimiter will be
automatically
appended.

That's correct. If no "sharedprefix" is set, Share Folders aka Bulletin
Boards are create without any prefix. If you set the prefix to "bb" you get
names such as "bb.bulletinboard".

We're not really using them, but we have a few. I created them with cyradm
like this:
cm betrieb-aktuell
This is the ACL we're using:
betrieb-aktuell:
owner lrswipcda
anyone lrsp

Sure, if the ACL allows it.

I don't know about postfix. With sendmail all names have to be lowercase.
I'm also not sure about the prefix, so let's suppose the name were just
"mybulletinboard". Then you would address that folder like this:
+mybulletinboard at dot dot dot
