Is there any way to trace ACL commands isssued by the client? Or should they
pop up in debug log if ACLs are active?

I tried via telnet to issue imap acl commands and all I could get to work
was NAMESPACE command. I think you are right, and ACLs are not supported
with mbox, or there is something wrong with my setup. Yet I can see the
namespace defined in the configuration via NAMESPACE command.
