After the dovecot-update (mercurial) the problem has disappeared - perhaps due
to http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/029c3afcfbd0 - acl in the public
namespace work properly now.

As we extensively use folders in the public namespace and users permitted to
expunge messages, it would be very convenient if the lazy_expunge plugin
worked in this namespace as well. A practical behavior could be to store
expunged mailboxes and mails in a seperate, non-user specific, folder. Is it
possible to extend the lazy_expunge plugin towards this behavior?
