Hello,

I upgraded my server to 1.2.4 and now I'm trying to implement ACL support to use with Bynari Insight Connector. Starting out with the wiki page on shared namespaces from http://wiki.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared I tried to implement shared mailbox support so that my customers can enjoy more exhange-like qualities with outlook.

However I am not sure if the ACLs or Shared Namespaces are really working. I sure would like some help debugging ACL requests by clients, and the configuration I did.

Thanks, Kerem

Here is the run down of my configuration, if I have screwed up somewhere.
