Public mailboxes and IPA (LDAP)

Hi Everyone,

I have a working Dovecot server that is using my IPA domain to lookup
users and passwords. I also have a "public" namespace that has the
inboxes for public email accounts. 

Everything is working for "regular" private email boxes. But, I can't
see new messages delivered to any of the public inboxes. Incoming
emails get delivered to the correct locations for the public inboxes: I
just don't see them in my email clients.

I'm not sure what the problem is since I don't see an error in the
dovecot logs. 

I also don't want to use the home directory location as provided by the
IPA domain. I've worked around it by using file system symlinks, but
I'd much rather just ignore the IPA provided home directory. I'm
wondering if my workaround is the culprit behind new messages to the
public folders not being seen by the client.

Here's my config:
