I added this to the configuration:

namespace { type = public separator = . prefix = public. location = maildir:/var/mail/public subscriptions = no list = yes }

and I can list maildirs inside these folders correctly. however, I can't see any subfolders.

The issue seems to be that /var/mail/public dir itself is interpreted as a maildir directory.

However, what I'd like to do is to have a bunch of directories inside /var/mail/public and treat them as separate maildirs. (I'd like to use this to make a few existing mailboxes public)

is this possible?

Not that I know of.

You could use shared mailboxes: http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Shared

Another Workaround might be to run a cron job to symlink mailboxes of "public" mailboxes into /var/.../public, e.g.:

/var/mail/user1/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp} /var/mail/user1/Maildir/.box1/{cur,new,tmp}

• ->

ln -s /var/mail/user1/Maildir /var/mail/public/.user1 ln -s /var/mail/user1/Maildir/.box1 /var/mail/public/.user1.box1

Be aware of permission problems, e.g. all user might be able to delete change mails in the public mailboxes.
