to quote http://wiki.dovecot.org/ACL :

[[[
Every time you create a new mailbox, it gets its ACLs from the parent
mailbox. If you're creating a root-level mailbox, it uses the
namespace's default ACLs. There is no actual inheritance, however: If
you modify parent's ACLs, the child's ACLs stay the same. There is
currently no support for ACL inheritance. 

The default ACLs are read from "dovecot-acl" file in the namespace's
mail root directory (e.g. /var/public/Maildir).
