Default ACL for new user mailbox

Heyho,

Quoting marc.bigler at day.com:

The mailbox "user.testuser", you create, is a mailbox without a parent 
mailbox, isn't it?
All new created mailboxes without a parent mailbox gets the acl from 
"defaultacl". All mailboxes, that are children of another get the ACL from 
its parent-box. I think, that is what should be said above in the manual.
So if your new top-level-mailbox get the right acl and the user isn't 
allowed to change it, all children-boxes of this mailbox get the right acl.

That is my experience.
