sharing INBOX with ACL -> share all folders

[Marco Giunta]

Hi Chris,
fortunately I've solved the problem with INBOX sharing: there is a bug 
with option 'acl_defaults_from_inbox'. When you define it with ANY value 
('yes', 'no', 'whatyouwant', 'xxx') it acts like the value is ALWAYS 
'yes', the only way to disable it, is comment it or delete from 
configuration file.

to avoid problems with acl, mailbox sharing and so on, I've changed my 
configuration from different UNIX users to a single virtual user some 
years ago

for dovecot2?  Or just typical of installations using ACLs?

I don't know if is typical or not, but it is very simple, and till now I 
didn't seen any particular problem

My configuration is attached in the first email; if you need some 
explanation, let me know.

Maybe this is causing me the permissions problems I’m seeing.  Is having it all running as one [UNIX] user a typical configuration for dovecot2?  Or just typical of installations using ACLs?
