Thanks. I solved this problem by doing this:

namespace private {
    separator = /
    inbox = yes
    hidden = yes
    prefix = "#mbox/"
    location = mbox:/home/%u:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
}

namespace private {
    separator = /
    prefix =
    location = maildir:/home/%u/Maildir
}

namespace public {
  separator = /
  prefix = Public/
  location = maildir:/var/mail/public
}


I also could create a shared folder. The problem was that I had to use 
'.Tasks' instead of 'Tasks'.
Now I'm having permission problems, but will solve soon. :-)
