Need more info. Are you using NE or FOSS? How are you configuring Outlook; with the Connector or POP3/IMAP?

I'm not sure, but I would assume no. It's like trying to check 2 Exchange accounts with outlook. It won't let you do 2 MAPI sessions at once. You can set 1 up as Zimbra and 1 up as IMAP. But, I assume you want the Calendars...etc...

Hi,
here everyone has his personal account and has access to 2 or 3 other mailboxes (usually shared ones).

Those are connected using IMAP and this works fine.
If you use only Outlook there is another way.

In Outlook you can already share mail folders to other users.

See the additional tab in the folder properties? Not sure what it is called in english.
