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.
