When you open the calendar for public access, all calendar documents are avaliable (since calendar documents have $PublicAccess field set to “1”), but emails are hidden. The problem is that all folder names are publicly available! So if you have created folders with very descriptive names, …

I think this is correct behavior (although I agree that it’s something of a security issue and a huge annoyance to users…)
