Well, unless you're interested enough to pay for me to do it, then it
doesn't have anything to do with this thread.

Some kind of ACL support is however going into CVS soon, but it's
missing IMAP ACL commands and shared mailbox handling. So it's basically
just about restricting access to mailboxes that you can already make
Dovecot see. And sure I'd like to see those features too, but I don't
have all that much free time.
