Users are implicitly considered administrators of their own inbox 
hierarchy.  This prevents them from doing things like removing their own 
access rights to their inbox.

In general, this is operationally a good thing.  Sometimes, it isn't quite 
what you want, and you should be able to change it by setting the 
implicit_owner_rights imapd.conf option (I believe this requires 2.2)
