Hmm, this didn't work for me. The namespace is empty, nothing to subscribe

Not sure if this is the problem, but it can't hurt to be more explicit:
It makes listing all user mailboxes possible. (Each test user I logged in
with made another mailbox appear in LIST "" "users/%" )
I didn't mention that the namespace was initially empty. But, each time a
user logged in, their maildir was created. With virtual users maybe the
same auto-creation doesn't take place.
I also didn't explicitly mention that each user's maildir is then at:
/var/mail/.username/{cur,new,tmp}
( Rather than: /var/mail/username/{cur,new,tmp} )
So, if you've already set up directories/folders for users, they'd need to
be converted to the new names (==moved) before they show up.
Also, in case something else is affecting things:
