Well, I'd suggest the obvious of specifying the folder name.  Not
however using Exchange I can't say for certain.

That was the first thing I tried, but it never hurts to ask :)

Specifically:

'All Public Folders/Public Folders/Sub-folder/Sub-folder/(etc)'

IMAP will tell me that the folder isn't found.

I'm by no means an IMAP expert, but I know the public folders are in a separate namespace. Try connecting to exchange using thunderbird, and have a look at the Public (shared) value in the dialogue
Account Settings -> Server settings -> Advanced -> IMAP.
This is set to "&ANY-ffentliche Ordner/" (German exchange) for me.

So the question is imho how to make fetchmail to get messages from another namespace.
