Great hint! This works!

For the archive:

namespace private {
    separator = .
    prefix =.
    inbox = no
    list = no
    hidden = yes
    location = maildir:~/Maildir-root
    subscriptions = yes
}

The subscriptions file for the public namespaces are not saved in 
~/Maildir-root.

I re-read the Wiki again and now I understand it.

The usual option will be using dovecot-shared and INDEX=~/Maildir/... 
for private Seen flags and index, no CONTROL for shared keywords and 
subscriptions = no for private subscriptions in the private parent 
namespace.


Thank you very much for these tipps!
