Some more thinking needs to go into the special user accounts, and
probably needs to be tied to the client id system to segment off these
accounts. Right now, accounts are segmented on a per-dbmail-installation
basis. This doesn't scale well for hosted providers.

The user who owns all #Public mailboxes is '_public_'. Then there's the
'anyone' account, and the [EMAIL PROTECTED]@!_. I actually
changed the name of _public_ to [EMAIL PROTECTED]@!_ but pulled it
before committing the major public folder update a few months ago.
