My understanding of rfc2342 and dovecot is that :

personnal namespace == private malboxes == mailboxes one's own
other user's namespace == shared mailboxes == mailboxes one's own and somone else has access to
shared namespace == public mailboxes == mailboxes everybody or only some user has
                    access to but which don't belong to a particular user

My understanding is that 1.1. support only personnal and shared namespaces (as
defined in rfc2342) Am I correct ?

Is the difference, feature wise, between 1.1. and 1.2, just the addition of
shared namespaces in 1.2, and maybe, as you said ACLs ?

What's changed regarding ACL ?

In short : what exactly are the difference (at a feature level, not a coding
level) between 1.1. and 1.2 regarding those concepts ? And is the support in
1.1. of personnal and shared namespace (as in rfc2342) stable ?


Thanks.
