[Dovecot] Outlook can't see namespace folders

Hi guys i understand that you can't subscribe to the Prefix names of 
namespace folders right now with dovecot.
But for instance if i user outlook express and it can't see the prefix 
name then it can't see the subfolders of that "prefix folder" either.
So even though it can detect and see the subfolders it won't display 
them cause it can't see the "parent"

Is there any fix for this? it's also kind of annoying in thunderbird but 
at least you can still see the subfolders.

TIA
James

Here's my config

# /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
        protocols = imap imaps pop3 pop3s
        log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "
        first_valid_uid = 100
        login_user=vmail
        mail_extra_groups = mail
        mail_debug = yes
        pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv
        mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/%n/Maildir
        #default_mail_env = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/%n/Maildir

        auth default {
            mechanisms = plain
            passdb ldap {
                args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
            }
            userdb ldap {
                args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf
            }
        }

# maildir
namespace private {
    separator = /
    prefix =
    location = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/%n/Maildir
    inbox = yes
    hidden = no
}
# mbox
namespace private {
    separator = /
    prefix = "Mbox/"
    location = mbox:/home/vmail/domains/%n/Mbox
    inbox = no
    hidden = no
}

#public spam folder
namespace public {
        separator = /
        prefix = /Spam/
        location = maildir:/home/vmail/domains/Spam/Maildir/
        hidden = no
}

ssl_disable = no
