The special case here is that Public-NIB/'s subscriptions go to the parent namespace's subscriptions file. So each entry that belongs to it must begin with the namespace prefix (Public-NIB/). For everything else it uses the internal separator, which is always '.'. That allows changing namespace separator without breaking all subscriptions. (But changing namespace prefix for subscriptions=no namespace breaks subscriptions, as has happened with you when changing from "Public-NIB." to "Public-NIB/".)

I think what happened was that you switched namespace separator from "." to "/", which then caused these prefixes to change in subscriptions file from Public-NIB.* to Public-NIB/*. It's actually kind of an accident that those Public-NIB.* entries in the subscriptions file even work.. It wasn't intended to work that way. Subscriptions for subscriptions=no namespaces are handled in a bit kludgy way. So, this isn't really a bug. :) Maybe some day in future separator changes can be handled better for subscriptions=no namespaces..

When you re-subscribe does the entry look different in the file? Anyway, I couldn't reproduce this.
[Dovecot] Unsubscribing from public folders
Hi, I'm having problems unsubscribing from public folders - nothing seems to
happen when I do that (from Thunderbird, Squirrelmail or telnet).
I'm using Dovecot 1.2.11. I remember that this worked when I was using
version 1.1.7.
Here is an extract from an imap session:
3 unsubscribe "Public-NIB/archive/older"
3 OK Unsubscribe completed.
6 lsub "" "Public-NIB/*"
* LSUB () "/" "Public-NIB/archive"
* LSUB () "/" "Public-NIB/archive/2008b"
* LSUB () "/" "Public-NIB/archive/2009a"
* LSUB () "/" "Public-NIB/archive/2009b"
* LSUB () "/" "Public-NIB/archive/older"
* LSUB () "/" "Public-NIB/archive/2010a"
6 OK Lsub completed.
And my relevant config:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
#location defaults to mail_location.
inbox = yes
}
namespace public {
separator = /
prefix = Public-NIB/
location = maildir:/(some path)
subscriptions = no # v1.1+
}
In the meantime I checked and found a "subscriptions" file in my maildir,
then went and edited it by hand (and removed the folder I wanted). That
seemed to work, and afterwards I can subscribe/unsubscribe to that
particular folder, but still not to any other public folders.
What could be the problem, or how can I debug this?
Thanks
Adrian
