dovecot.conf

# default namespace
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix =
inbox = yes
hidden = yes
}

# for backwards compatibility:
namespace private {
separator = .
prefix = INBOX.
inbox = yes
}


You shouldn't have inbox = yes on more than one namespace. From the 
comments in my dovecot.conf:

   # There can be only one INBOX, and this setting defines which namespace
   # has it.
   #inbox = yes

I think you're also hiding the wrong namespace. You don't want to 
advertise the backwards-compatibility namespace to clients. If they're 
already using the old one, they can still use it, but you don't want new 
clients to start using it. Namespace-aware clients will adapt (in 
theory?).
