By default Dovecot doesn't allow using the IMAP "anyone" or "authenticated" identifier, because it would be an easy way to spam other users in the system. If you wish to allow it, set:
plugin { acl_anyone = allow }
Greg, thanks for your reply, I missed that in the wiki about the "anyone" identifier. I will try that setting that you mention, BUT I don't know that it will work because before I tried using "anyone" as the identifier I tried using the username I was logging into the account with (using the "user=" parameter in place of "anyone"), and that didn't work either. :(

OK, I tried it with the username I use to login to the account instead of "anyone", and with "owner" as Timo suggested (thank you as well), and neither of those worked. My dovecot-acl contained "user=dave lrwstipea" in the first case and "owner lrwstipea" in the second, and neither is making a difference, I can still rename/delete/etc that folder. Any other thoughts?? I don't need to restart dovecot or reload the config or anything if I make a change to the dovecot-acl file do I?

I have this in my public namespace, and it works well:
authenticated lrs user=gfinch lrwstipekxa
What does your dovecot -n say?
