Yes, thanks! type=public works fine.

Another problem is that with dovecot 1.2, Thunderbird shows "Shared"
(the folder that contains all of my dynamically added namespaces) as a
real folder, not grey and italic as before.
When selecting it, the following message pops up:
"The current command did not succeed. The mail server responded:
[NONEXISTENT] Mailbox doesn't exist: Shared."

Before the dovecot update, Thunderbird didn't show Shared as a real
folder, it was greyed out and selecting it didn't cause an IMAP "SELECT"
command.

Looking at the imap traffic, thunderbird does a

16 list "" "%"

... and dovecot returns "Shared" without \Noselect:

* LIST (\HasChildren) "/" "Shared"

Is there a way to tell dovecot that this is only the base of my
namespaces and that it should include a \Noselect attribute?

Thanks,
