As already mentioned, thank you very much, this works!
However, I wonder if I am the one who needs different group-based
mailboxes in a shared namespace ... I think it can't be that complicated?!
Maybe the common way to go instead is to create a "virtual mail" mail
group where all users belong to (and assign with
mail_access_groups=sharedmail) and do all group-permissions solely with
the ACL plugin?
Best regards,
Luke
