We have rolled out SOGo as web-based groupware with email calendaring 
and contacts for 13,000 users and it uses our Cyrus IMAP server 
structure as backend for messages (using as session id obfuscator[1] as 
this was not implemented in time of rollout, but it will be in version 
1.3.5).

SOGo offers a sharing option and our users seem to understand IMAP 
access rights with this web front end so we're happy.

IMAP ACLs remain abstract until a decent user interface appears. Users 
_LOVE_ this feature but nearly nobody knows it because most IMAP clients 
cannot set them.
