We are using an IMAP server with shared folders.  Works very nicely.

If you agree on some protocol, you can even do todo lists in such
shared folders.  We put "[TODO]" in the subject line of todo items and
we tick the items that are not done.  When somebody signs up for an
item, he removes that tick and makes a followup with "[TODO Kai]" (or
similar) in the subject.  Tick marks on "[TODO Kai]" messages should
only be frobbed by Kai.
