Hi Timo,
here additional infos about more tests
using horde imp for setting imap acl
works partly ( but that might be a imp issue cause
i am not using the latest version and specially the shared acl code
in recent imp versions was deeply improved )
but after all setacl is possible with imp and shared folders are shown
as expected
also using prefix = "shared/%%d/%%u/"
works nice !

Great WORK !!!

with horde imp there is no wrong % expansion  in dovecots log so it
seems clear that this is an thunderbird issue

after all whats missing is quota listing for shared folders
( dont know if you might implement this easily in the quota code )
it should be there in my mind , cause transactions with shared
folders i.e copy maybe fail by overload quota of a shared folder
for now user has no chance ( until he has no imap debug etc) to find out
why i.e copy might fail in his client, with shown quota he might be able
to find out that there is less space left in the shared folder to i.e
copy a mail to it.
