The minus actually means bugfix :) Plus is a new feature. Star is a
change or some important note.

It should work. You could try with maildir_stat_dirs = yes to be sure,
but it shouldn't matter.

Is the problem really that it doesn't show in LIST at all, or doesn't
just SELECT work?

ACLs won't come before 1.0. Shared folders can be kind of kludged with
symlinks, but with 0.99.10 the files are always created with 0600 mode,
so all your users would have to use the same UID or it won't work.
1.0-tests support specifying the mode.
