..
ACL Inheritance

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.

Namespace's default ACLs are read from "dovecot-acl" file in the
namespace's mail root directory (e.g. /var/public/Maildir). Note that
currently these default ACLs are used only when creating new mailboxes,
they aren't used for mailboxes without ACLs.
