But isn't a client like Thunderbird (3.0.3) supposed to

For now, it says : "This is a personnal mail folder. It is not shared."
I made some progress and managed to share a mailbox with my setup but :
a) I wonder if TB even support the SETACL command since I don't see how I can modify an ACL through the TB UI.
b) For things to work, I had to set up loose permissions on the maildirs and the shared-mailbox file. I've read on this list (from the 1.2 beta days) that it is supposed to be easier with virtual user (as opposed to system users) : why ? mailboxes end up being on the filesystem anyway...
In fact, I don't really understand the difference between virtual and system users...Aren't they seen as almost the same for dovecot ?
c) What's weird also is if I put a "dovecot-acl" file in a maildir I want to share, TB does not see it. But if I telnet and issue the SETACL command which end up generating the same dovecot-acl file, TB then sees the shared mailbox...
Timo ?
