Hi Timo,

i understand, but that would dove make a really dreamy
imap server, especially in i.e full isp virtual setups
cause its a well needed feature for smaller workgroups,
sharing and delegating acls over user and public
mailboxes over imap controlled by users themselfes or by a an admin user
for me its a bleeding edge which can only be done by cyrus at present
( which i dont like so much by other reasons )
so i hope its comming in dove sometime in the future
