RFC-4314 IMAP4 Access Control List (ACL) Extension seems like the way to go.

A mailbox listener could give you the right on newly created mailbox I

We have a working delegation implementation on top of JMAP however
implementing it in IMAP proved to be difficult (especially regarding
LIST command syntax).
