forget the client for a moment...

Are you trying to create users/mailboxes that aren't posixAccounts?

Then I would assume that sasldb would be the place for them but I have
always used local account setup. It would seem that you need to be
consistent when you create their accounts with saslpassword and cyrus
account creation.

you can check acl's of mailboxes - I do this by...

su - cyrus -c '/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/cyradm localhost'
lam user.username #perhaps with unix hierachy, lam user/username
lam user.username.subfolder_name

you can change acl's
sam user.username
sam user.username.subfolder_name

this allows you to check and if necessary (which I suspect via
inheritance shouldn't be necessary to fool with subfolders, you want
them to be different).

Lot's of mail client software won't let you delete the 'current'
folder...i.e. if you select the INBOX and the contents are viewed, you
can delete another folder by right clicking the folder and selecting
delete.
