I must admit I've run out of ideas.

Just as a test you could try the following:

(1)
In your Dovecot config change this:

plugin {
   acl = vfile:/usr/local/etc/dovecot/global-acls:cache_secs=300

to:

plugin {
   acl = vfile


(2)
In this folder:

/var/vmail/public

- create a file 'dovecot-acl' with content like this:

authenticated lrs
user=user1 at domain.com lrwstipekxa
user=user1 at domain2.com lrwstipekxa

- chown vmail:vmail dovecot-acl

- as 'TestFolder' and 'general' already exist (and therefore no 
inheritance), copy 'dovecot-acl' to these two folders

- delete /var/vmail/public/dovecot-acl-list


(3)
restart Dovecot

Please check, if these modifications changed the behaviour.

Regards,
Markus
