Hello Aki,

thank you for the tip. I have tried with another mail client and could 
see and subscribe to
the subfolders in the public namespace without any problem. Hope that 
Thunderbird gets
fixed soon.

However, I still see a lot of those index errors in the log file. Any 
idea how to fix that ?

Thank you for your kind help.

best regards
Andreas
