By permission I mean (read, write, look-up seen). I dont think symlink
will allow these features.
Symlinks grant all IMAP permissions, the filesystem level permits. That
is, with symlinks you cannot selectivly deny permissions easily.
ACL does support such features.
Only problem is that I have to setacl for individual boxes (ie
Inbox,Sent,Junk etc.)
There are front ends for IMAP ACLs and more importantly for your current
situation:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Tools/Doveadm/ACL
Works great. If you search the list, you will find posts how to grant
permissions for several or all mailboxes of one account with a tool chain
using "doveadm mailbox list ".

to suggest a "best way" we would need to know more about your Dovecot
installation.
With symlink, I dont think I will be able to set permissions.
What permissions you are talking of?
Is it possible to use ACL to get the entire email account access(the
inbox, junk, sent etc.)?
With ACLs help can allow bob to access selected mailboxes with selected IMAP
permissions, if bob may access the mail storage of help on file system
level. ACLs are more powerful, but require more setup.
I use both ways:
ACLs to share mailboxes in general, which appear in the users branch, and
symlinks to place SPAM reporting mailboxes right into the namespace of each
user.
