dovecot - Apr 2008 - Problems with Public Folders

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

I am trying to implement public folders on my Fedora 8 + Postfix 2.5.1 +
 MySQL + Dovecot 1.0.13.  I have Public folder shown in for my users but
when they choose the folder "Public" they receive the error "The
mail
server responded: Mailbox doesn't exist: Public" (in Thunderbird) or
just simply "Mailbox doesn't exist: Public" (In SquirrelMail).
They are
also reciveing the same errors when they try to subscribe to the Public
Folder.

Thanks

That's because Public isn't a mailbox, it's a namespace. You can
create
mailboxes under Public, but you can't treat Public itself as a mailbox.

Is there any way to remove this error?

IS there a better way of doing the same thing?
