Subfolder is important. Mailbox directly within the namespace does work.

(I only partly substituted "lpmail" with "user" in my mail, sorry for that.
I'll use the unchanged "lpmail" username now.)

Are you sure? (for deeper levels)

The main difference is
Debug: acl: Mailbox not in dovecot-acl-list: INBOX^shared^lpmail^test^test2

~lpmail/Maildir/dovecot-acl-list contains
1287438561 test
1287390299 test.test2
1285453373 in2009

But even if I delete ~lpmail/Maildir/dovecot-acl-list, with separator set to ^,
test.test2 is not included in the recreated file (and still not listed).

(Not using global-acls at the moment. But debug output also contains
Debug: acl vfile: file /etc/dovecot/global-acls/INBOX^shared^lpmail^test not found
Shouldn't that be file /etc/dovecot/global-acls/INBOX.shared.lpmail.test as per 
wiki2.dovecot.org/ACL ? And strace shows that it rellay tries to open the path
with ^s.)

No, same problem.

Thanks,
