Yes. Please accept my apologies.

I have a Cyrus IMAP server which provides a very useful ACL implementation (on FreeBSD). However, it does not support Maildir (I realize UW imapd doesn't either without http://www.davideous.com/imap-maildir/ )
Amway....
Would you be so kind as to direct me toward a relevant thread or synopsis on the problems you mention? I have recently become interested in finding/developing an "IMAP + ACL + Maildir" combination to use with qmail on FreeBSD.

Super. Thanks for the info.

P.S.
You might want to get someone to add the "ACL question" as well as provide the URL to "unsupported imap-maildir patches" to the FAQ. I can't imagine that I am the only one interested in these things : )
