ACL SET replaces all existing ACLs on a folder with the ACL list specified
by the ACL SET command. Courier requires that "owner" must always have "al"
rights on its own folder. Your replacement ACL list did not specify "al"
rights for "owner", and was rejected. That's what the RIGHTS-INFO response
meant.

Furthermore, you probably want to set ACLs for both INBOX, and its
subfolders, so you should be doing something like:

A13 ACL SET (INBOX INBOX.*) user=postmaster acdilrsw owner acdilrsw

Of course, the user can always remove postmaster's rights with any IMAP
ACL-capable client.

The above can be done programmatically, by linking against Courier's
libraries. The maildiracl command line tool is just a small wrapper for
various maildir_aclt() functions.

It's probably more clean to use maildir_list() to enumerate all folders,
including INBOX, then use maildir_aclt() to initialize their ACLs.
