Yes, because SETACL updates also the shared-mailbox file, which contains information about what mailboxes are visible to who. Without that, Dovecot would have to look through all users all mailboxes to see if there happens to be any dovecot-acl files that contains rules for current user, which of course would be really slow.

Get it. So I guess the recommended method to "make the share mailboxes visible" is to talk IMAP (through telnet for instance) and not trying to suppose anything about the shared-mailbox file format and try to hack it directly, right ?
