Turn it off just for you? or globally?
The underscore as the separator is defined within your Postfix main.cf
config file. From your logs below, it uses the Dovecot deliver with
the '-m ${extension}' parameter. If you remove the '-m "${EXTENSION}'
parameter from the Postfix master.cf config file, that will eliminate
extension (folder) delivery for the entire server.
From the Dovecot deliver man page:
-m mailbox
Destination mailbox (default is INBOX). If the mailbox doesn't
exist, it will not be created (unless the lda_mailbox_autocreate
setting is set to yes). If a message couldn't be saved to the
mailbox for any reason, it's delivered to INBOX instead.
