Hi Andreas,

did you try with enabling the logging option 'mail_debug = yes'? It should then verbosely log ACLs read while accessing the folders. How about the files 'dovecot-acl' and 'dovecot-acl-list'? Are they present in your public root? The latter should have been automatically created once the subdirs have working ACLs.
