Well, jokes was an example, I want to share more folders :-)

I will write a more elaborated (almost real) example. Let be:
- Cyrus is the imap server.
- "cyradm" is the administrator tool for Cyrus.
- "lm" is the command to list mailboxes.
- "lam" is the command to list ACLs on mailboxes.
- "boss" is the cyrus imap administrator.
- "ronin" and "john" are two mail users.

[ronin@www ronin]$ cyradm --user boss localhost
Password:
localhost.localdomain> lm
user.john (\HasChildren)
user.john.sent (\HasNoChildren)
user.ronin (\HasChildren)
user.ronin.sent (\HasNoChildren)
user.ronin.jpackage (\HasNoChildren)
user.ronin.jwebmail (\HasNoChildren)
user.ronin.mandrake (\HasNoChildren)
user.ronin.homecinema (\HasNoChildren)
localhost.localdomain> lam user.john
john lrswipcda
localhost.localdomain> lam user.ronin.jwebmail
john lrs
ronin lrswipcda

With Cyrus, each folder has ACLs, so you can set permissions on it in order to 
give different permissions to different users. In the example, "ronin" has 
set read permissions for "john" on his folder "jwebmail". That folder is the 
destination for a mailing list where "ronin" is subscribed. He can write on 
it, but "john" is able to read the messages in that folder too, although he 
can't delete them or put new messages. If "ronin" login in "cyradm" as 
himself he only see his folders:

[ronin@www ronin]$ cyradm localhost
Password:
localhost.localdomain> lm
INBOX (\HasChildren)
INBOX.sent (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX.jpackage (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX.jwebmail (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX.mandrake (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX.homecinema (\HasNoChildren)

But if "john" login in "cyradm" he can see other folders if he has the rights 
to do that:

[john@www john]$ cyradm localhost
Password:
localhost.localdomain> lm
INBOX (\HasChildren)
INBOX.sent (\HasNoChildren)
user.ronin.jwebmail (\HasNoChildren)

Here is the problem, with jwebmail he can only see folders inside his INBOX, 
so he is not able to access jwebmail folder.
