Namespace separator and filesystem separator are different. It should be using / as *filesystem* separator with LAYOUT=FS, and it should be using namespace separator / since you've specified it. Can you do `doveadm exec imap -o mail_debug=yes -u target-user` and provide logs after `1 SELECT INBOX` Aki
