dovecot - Mar 2014 - Public Namespace and INBOX

Hello,

i added a existing MAILDIR as a Public Namespace and i can subscribe to
this Namespace without a problem.

I can access every folder except the INBOX. Thunderbird just shows a GREY
"INBOX".

Is there any way to access the INBOX of a maildir?

Thanks

I'm really confused at the number of people who ask questions like this 
without providing their configuration.

Do you people think everyone here has a crystal ball?

This is a symptom of a folder not existing, but folders beneath it
existing. For example, I filter Debian Bug mails into
INBOX\Bugs\$BugNumber. There is no INBOX\Bugs folder, so it shows up
greyed.

If you have a greyed out INBOX, then either you've made a mistake in
your config or perhaps there's an issue with the mailbox itself. Can you
access the maildir as a private namespace?
