My fault, I just didn't have enough time to figure the correct vocabulary for my goals. This makes googling information very hard too :(

Maybe what you want is to set postuser in your imapd.conf.

for me it works fine without a postuser (are there any drawbacks in not using a postuser?) "+shared@xxxxxxxxxxx" works fine and as far as I understood postuser would just be some artificial username to prepend to shared mailboxes...

Yep. Anonymous needs p if you want to receive unauthenticated messages
to a folder.

Ok now user+mailbox posting works fine (where user is an existing user in cyrus and mailbox is a "subfolder" in "users"s mailbox)

For user+shared@xxxxxxxxxxx that would be user/user/ shared@xxxxxxxxxxx
(or user.user.shared) - or INBOX.shared for the user.
Shared mailboxes are
You can also use sieve to redirect mails to shared@xxxxxxxxxxx or
user@xxxxxxxxxxx to the folder or something similar. Most WEb
interfaces are unable to filter the mailbox extension (thats what the
"shared" in user+shared@xxxxxxxxxxxx is called), though, so you'd
probably want to create a dedicated user for that.

Ok, to clear things up I have these mailboxes:

localhost.example.com> lam shared@xxxxxxxxxxx
user@xxxxxxxxxxx lrswipcda
anyone p

localhost.example.com> lam user/user@xxxxxxxxxxx
user@xxxxxxxxxxx lrswipcda
cyrus lrswipcda

No I write a mail to "user+shared@xxxxxxxxxxx" and I want the mail to be posted to "shared@xxxxxxxxxxx" I do need to use sieve (anything else?) to have this mail posted to "shared@xxxxxxxxxxx" instead of somewhere in "user@xxxxxxxxxxx"

Because:

If "user+shared@xxxxxxxxxxx" exists cyrus would put the message there (given the ACLs are correct)
If only "user@xxxxxxxxxxx" exists cyrus would put the message there

Hope I could express myself a bit clearer now...
