Dear Steffen, Thanks for your feedback. Appreciate it. By permission I mean (read, write, look-up seen). I dont think symlink will allow these features. ACL does support such features. Only problem is that I have to setacl for individual boxes (ie Inbox,Sent,Junk etc.)

I am trying to map a account(bob@mydomain.com) to help@mydomain.com. I would like him to see/access Inbox,Sent,Junk,Trash of help@mydomain.com . What would you reckon would be the best way to do this? ACL or Symlink?
to suggest a "best way" we would need to know more about your Dovecot installation.
With symlink, I dont think I will be able to set permissions.
What permissions you are talking of?
Is it possible to use ACL to get the entire email account access(the inbox, junk, sent etc.)?
With ACLs help can allow bob to access selected mailboxes with selected IMAP permissions, if bob may access the mail storage of help on file system level. ACLs are more powerful, but require more setup.
I use both ways:
ACLs to share mailboxes in general, which appear in the users branch, and symlinks to place SPAM reporting mailboxes right into the namespace of each user.
