In another thread Timo said: "You can use "doveadm acl debug" command to 
try to figure out why a user can't see a shared mailbox. For example:

doveadm acl debug -u user at domain Public/foo"
That's one start.

Another is: doveadm mailbox list -u user
it should list all shared mailboxes, too.

doveadm search -u user mailbox public/\* subject ....

Because of "anyone", that is configured without the list file.
However, as I understand the "public" namespace, no ACLs are required.

You mean you see "public/test", but don't see anything within, if you 
enter the mailbox? Or do you get an error, if you try to enter it?

Are you sure, the structure is correct? Try to setup an account with 
mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/public:LAYOUT=fs and verify it works at 
all. Maybe, make a 100% copy of that directory before:

cp -a /var/vmail/public /var/vmail/testuser
