It seems after checking the code that global ACL file functionality was changed at 2.2.14 so that only 1 rule is used, not multiple rules.

This is not documented or said anywhere into change logs.

Hello,

We have upgraded from Dovecot 2.2.13 to 2.2.15 and we are using global ACL file.

The content of the ACL file is as following:

* owner r
INBOX owner lrwstipekxa
INBOX/* owner lrwstipekxa
user owner rwstipekxa
user/* owner rwstipekxa


This worked fine but after update any user cannot see any folders from under the INBOX, also they cannot create any new folders.

Error into the logs are like this:

Debug: acl: Mailbox not in dovecot-acl-list: INBOX
Debug: acl: Mailbox not in dovecot-acl-list: INBOX/Chats
Debug: acl: Mailbox not in dovecot-acl-list: INBOX/Draft
Debug: acl: Mailbox not in dovecot-acl-list: INBOX/INBOX ....


I can only see one acl change log at version 2.2.14: http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot-news/2014-October/000276.html

acl: Global ACL file now supports "quotes" around patterns.


But I could not find the reason why the global acl file does not work anymore?
