Hi Timo,

I followed instructions in Namespaces, but no luck.
I sent a question about this problem 3th Jul:

===

I have a problem with namespases in Dovecot:

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

namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix =
  inbox = yes
}

namespace private works well, but I can't subscribe to namespace
Public in Outlooks Express, The Bat! and Mozilla Thunderbird. Outlook
shows error 'Mailbox doesn't exist: Public'. Same with The Bat!.

maildir:/home/mail/public exists and has correct rights:

# ls -alh /home/mail/public/
total 0
drwx------ 5 mail mail 184 Jul  2 21:55 .
drwxr-x--- 4 mail root 104 Jul  2 21:01 ..
drwx------ 2 mail mail  48 Jul  2 21:01 cur
-rw-r--r-- 1 mail mail   0 Jul  2 21:54 dovecot-shared
drwx------ 2 mail mail  48 Jul  2 21:01 new
-rw-r--r-- 1 mail mail   0 Jul  2 21:55 subscriptions
drwx------ 2 mail mail  48 Jul  2 21:01 tmp


# dovecot --version
1.0.1

# uname -rsm
Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 i686
