Hello,

Dovecot 2.0.5+ (Debian "automatic package" 2.0.5-0~auto+5).
If I use the following namespace definitions

namespace personal {
  inbox = yes
  location = maildir:~/Maildir
  separator = ^
  prefix =
  type = private
}
namespace others {
  type = shared
  separator = ^
  prefix = shared^%%u^
  location = maildir:%%h/Maildir:INDEX=~/Maildir/shared/%%u
  subscriptions = no
  list = children
}
namespace virtual {
  location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++
  separator = ^
  prefix = virtual^
  type = private
}
(virtual should not matter, but I have not tested without.)

I have problems with subscriptions for the shared mailboxes:
SUBSCRIBE ^shared^user^box leads to entry
  shared^user^box
in ~/Maildir/subscriptions file. All subscriptions for folders in
personal namespace use the "layout" separator (".") thought.
LSUB "" "*"  does not show the just subscribed folder,
but it does after I manually change the entry to read
  shared.user.box

Bug?

Thanks for your work,
  Lutz
