My list would look pretty much the same, except for these. A lot of  
people want shared mailboxes and besides administrator configuring  
them manually ACL is the only possibility. Clients don't currently  
have much support for it, but it doesn't really need support from  
normal clients. Just having some special "ACL (web)client" is enough.  
I hoped to have implemented ACL for my server this summer, but looks  
like it didn't happen.

I think quota is already pretty widely supported by clients, although  
in very limited form. If people have quota, they really want to know  
how much they have left (when they've reached the limit once..).  
Quota root is a pretty weird concept though and I don't think clients  
handle multiple ones well. Maybe QUOTA2 extension could do a better  
job with those.
