I added the example with pgsql today :) I found exactly one reference to 
dict::proxy on the list and thought it's worth putting into Wiki, in order 
I can find it again.

Yes, I do, but I get mad over my system users. The ACL work on IMAP-side, 
but they are not mapped correctly to Unix-side (aka file permissions). 
Timo mentioned this somewhen on the list.
I created accounts in the same group, this works like charm. Thunderbird 
(well, an elder one) is a bit slow to find deeply nested shared folders 
for the first time, but that's normal.

That's why I am looking into a "acl_change_notify" feature for Dovecot. I 
think, I found something for read and write IMAP ACLs, but "a"dmin ACL 
won't work 100%. Well, it makes me think to change to virtual users. The 
extra security with system users comes from a traditional setup, which no 
longer applies.

Bye,
