dovecot - Apr 2007 - read only maildir subscriptions

Hello,

I have some (possibly very simple) questions about
subscriptions:
I store my old mails in /home/oldmails/ in one Maildir
where I have only read-only permissions (I cannot delete, create or modify
any files).
Under thunderbird, I can successfully log in and read my new mails, 
but  I cannot subscribe (?) within thunderbird to oldmails 
(it is grey not black as other folders).

What did I do wrong? What other permissions does dovecot need?

Here's the relevant part of dovecot.conf:

namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = oldmails/
  location =
maildir:/home/oldmails/:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control-oldmails:INDEX=~/Maildir/index-oldmails
}

and when I try to subscribe to it, dovecot says:
dovecot: 2007-04-30 17:58:53 Info: IMAP(xxx): Effective uid=7001, gid=1000
dovecot: 2007-04-30 17:58:53 Info: IMAP(xxx): Namespace: type=private,
prefix=regi/, sep=/, inbox=no, hidden=no, subscriptions=no
dovecot: 2007-04-30 17:58:53 Info: IMAP(xxx): maildir:
data=/home/oldmails/:CONTROL=~/Maildir/control-oldmails:INDEX=~/Maildir/index-oldmails
dovecot: 2007-04-30 17:58:53 Info: IMAP(xxx): maildir: root=/home/oldmails,
index=~/Maildir/index-oldmails, control=~/Maildir/control-oldmails, inbox
Thanks for any help in advance.

Regards,
A.

"oldmails" is the namespace prefix. You can't subscribe to it
because
it's not a mailbox. Why would it even be needed? You should be able to
subscribe to mailboxes under it.

Ok, thanks for the reply.
It is clear now, now I can subscribe them.
