Alain, Richard,

We have tried this for a while, but it occurred to me that the termin "public" 
has two problems as well:

a) thus an "accountless folder" as ACLs, it might not be readable by anyone,
   or just a subgroup on a fraction of Kolab Servers.
b) "public" could mean as published to the general public, and I envision 
    folders for the future that would be handles like this, think about the 
    use case that a sales person would publish the public talks he is doing
    in the next two weeks, why not generate a webpage out of a calender    
    folder?

Thus I currently prefer "accountless folder" or "folder without account".
