Confused.
Let's back to your original question:

What does your "public folder" mean? Is it a shared IMAP folder? Or a directory created with command 'mkdir' directly? If it's a shared IMAP folder, maildir path with "Maildir/" is fine. Reference:
How do you "deliver mail to it directly"? Sending an email to this public folder with Outlook/Thunderbird or Roundcube webmail? Then "Maildir/" in maildir path is fine. Otherwise you have to deliver email with command "dovecot-lda" or "deliver" (usually a symbol link to "dovecot-lda"), they're installed in Dovecot directory, not /usr/bin/. Try /usr/libexec/dovecot/ or /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/ instead.
I mean "public folder" in this sense http://wiki2.dovecot.org/SharedMailboxes/Public
Here is part of my dovecot.conf
namespace {
type = private
separator = /
prefix =
#location defaults to mail_location.
location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/
inbox = yes
}
namespace {
type = shared
separator = /
prefix = Shared/%%u/
location = maildir:/%%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%%Lh/Maildir/Shared/%%u
# this namespace should handle its own subscriptions or not.
subscriptions = yes
list = children
}
namespace {
type = public
separator = /
prefix = Shared folders/
location = maildir:/home/mail/vmail1/public-folders
subscriptions = no
inbox = no
hidden = no
}
I created folder /home/mail/vmail1/public-folders/.bkzi1 manually.
And I subscribed to bkzi1 without any problem via thunderbird, when I subscribed to bkzi1 I saw following:
ls -l /home/mail/vmail1/public-folders/.bkzi1
total 24K
drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4.0K Sep 3 21:46 cur
-rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 49 Sep 3 21:44 dovecot-acl
-rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 248 Sep 3 21:46 dovecot.index.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 51 Sep 3 21:46 dovecot-uidlist
drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4.0K Sep 3 21:46 new
drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4.0K Sep 3 21:46 tmp
You can see that /new, /cur and /tmp subfolders are created and I can put some e-mail to bkzi1 manually via thunderbird.
And then I want to do that e-mails addressed to bkzi1@dengabank.ru are putted to the /home/mail/vmail1/public-folders/.bkzi1/new folder.
As you advised I created user bkzi1@dengabank.ru and set in LDAP:
homeDirectory = /home/mail/vmail1/public-folders/.bkzi1
mailMessageStore = vmail1/public-folders/.bkzi1
When I sent e-mail to the bkzi1@dengabank.ru "/home/mail/vmail1/public-folders/.bkzi1/Maildir" folder is created and the e-mail is putted to "/home/mail/vmail1/public-folders/.bkzi1/Maildir/new" folder. But I saw in thunderbird the e-mails that are placed in /home/mail/vmail1/public-folders/.bkzi1/cur folder.
Please, advise, how should I configure dovecot that e-mails are delivered correctly and I could see this e-mails in subscribed folder?
Thank you so much.
