Hopefully this will improve.  There is an IETF committee on the IMAP
extensions, which includes quotas and ACLs.  So hopefully we can
eventually get some consistency here.  I'm also hoping that they
separate folder ACLs from message ACLs, so that you can grant
permission to delete messages in a folder, but not the folder
itself--D'OH!  ;-)
