I know you want it handled with global ACLs, but for testing you could place a 'dovecot-acl' with 'anyone lr" in the public vmail root. Just too see if clients list folders then. For the mail client behavior, I can confirm that some still seem to allow deleting mails, but the server blocks them from doing so in reality. I suppose this is a client glitch, like you mentioned.

I remember Timo saying that global ACLs aren't the tool of trade for some things you want to achieve, but I have to leave your "expected design" questions to him.
