So, the second issue (private namespace ACLs) could be a bug in Dovecot, unless I misunderstood how to name ACL files for mailboxes in other private namespaces. The first issue (invisibility of public folders) is still a mystery to me.
Ideas?
I know you want it handled with global ACLs, but for testing you could place a 'dovecot-acl' with 'anyone lr" in the public vmail root. Just too see if clients list folders then. For the mail client behavior, I can confirm that some still seem to allow deleting mails, but the server blocks them from doing so in reality. I suppose this is a client glitch, like you mentioned.
I remember Timo saying that global ACLs aren't the tool of trade for some things you want to achieve, but I have to leave your "expected design" questions to him.
