I'm a little confused about how public namespaces work with subscriptions. If I set subscriptions=no and subscribe to the folders, the subscription entries go into the user's private subscription file and that's fine. However, I am unable to pull their status with the LIST-EXTENDED extension.

Normal listing works OK: A0004 LIST "" "*" RETURN (STATUS (MESSAGES UNSEEN))

• LIST (\NonExistent) "/" "Public"
• LIST () "/" "Public/Public One"
• STATUS "Public/Public One" (MESSAGES 0 UNSEEN 0)
• LIST () "/" "Public/Public One/Sub 1"
• STATUS "Public/Public One/Sub 1" (MESSAGES 0 UNSEEN 0)
• LIST () "/" "Public/Public One/Sub 2"
• STATUS "Public/Public One/Sub 2" (MESSAGES 0 UNSEEN 0)
• LIST () "/" "Public/Public Two"
• STATUS "Public/Public Two" (MESSAGES 0 UNSEEN 0)
• LIST () "/" "Public/Read-only"
• STATUS "Public/Read-only" (MESSAGES 1 UNSEEN 0) A0004 OK List completed.

Listing SUBSCRIBED (or LSUB) fails: A0003 LIST (SUBSCRIBED) "" "*" RETURN (STATUS (MESSAGES UNSEEN))

• LIST (\Subscribed) "/" "Public/Public One"
• NO Mailbox doesn't exist: Public.Public One
• LIST (\Subscribed) "/" "Public/Public One/Sub 1"
• NO Mailbox doesn't exist: Public.Public One.Sub 1
• LIST (\Subscribed) "/" "Public/Public One/Sub 2"
• NO Mailbox doesn't exist: Public.Public One.Sub 2
• LIST (\Subscribed) "/" "Public/Public Two"
• NO Mailbox doesn't exist: Public.Public Two
• LIST (\Subscribed) "/" "Public/Read-only"
• NO Mailbox doesn't exist: Public.Read-only A0003 OK List completed.

If I set subscriptions=yes it works OK, but then the subscriptions are shared unless I override SUBSCRIPTIONS in the mail location. Is this working as designed? Here's what I ended up doing - is there a better way?

namespace { inbox = yes location = prefix = separator = / type = private } namespace { hidden = yes list = no location = maildir:%h/Maildir prefix = ~/mail/ separator = / type = private } namespace { type = public separator = / prefix = Public/ location = maildir:/var/mail/public:INDEX=~/Maildir/public:SUBSCRIPTIONS=~/Maildir/ public/subscriptions subscriptions = yes }
