Namespace problem? duplicated folders...

I'm sure this is related to name-spaces, but for some reason [brain damage
perhaps? :) ] I can't seem to figure out how to fix it.

In TBird, for example, I have a folder tree that looks like this

Inbox -|
  Folder-A
  Folder-B
  Folder-C
Folder-A
Folder-B
Folder-C

And  Folder-A, Folder-B, Folder-C are the same folders, just shown twice. [In
two different hierarchies.]

I'm using mbox files to store mail. [If that matters.]

Here's what I have in my conf files for namespace defs

namespace {
  inbox = yes
  #hidden = yes
  prefix = INBOX/
  separator = /
}

namespace inbox {
  mailbox Drafts {
    special_use = \Drafts
  }
  mailbox Junk {
    special_use = \Junk
  }
  mailbox Trash {
    special_use = \Trash
  }
  mailbox Sent {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
  mailbox "Sent Messages" {
    special_use = \Sent
  }
}


I've had this problem for literally years, and it's not been that big of
a deal (mostly irritating) - and I've tried to "fix" it before
without any success. But now it's causing some issues and I'd really
like to get this nagging issue gone. Since it's been so long since I last
tried to fix it, I really can't recall any of settings changes I made in an
attempt to fix it. I'd guess this is a trivial issue, but if so, can someone
point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!

Namespace problem? duplicated folders...

Anyone? 
A tip on where/what to look at, even?
I've read the docs on namespaces and I'm not sure how I could do this
[or not do it, in this case] from the docs.

I realize I didn't include the version I'm running in the prior post
too.
It is; 2.2.22

Interesting.

While I don't use mbox (dbox or maildir) I wouldn't think that would 
matter. Your namespace layout looks nearly the same as my own. But to 
verify what's going on - post the output of "doveconf namespace".

Possibly just reviewing that output may tell you enough - otherwise 
share it (fully) here.

Try this:

namespace inbox {
   hidden = no
   inbox = yes
   list = yes
   mailbox Drafts {
     auto = no
     special_use = \Drafts
   }
   mailbox Junk {
     auto = no
     special_use = \Junk
   }
   mailbox Sent {
     auto = no
     special_use = \Sent
   }
   mailbox "Sent Messages" {
     auto = no
     special_use = \Sent
   }
   mailbox Trash {
     auto = no
     special_use = \Trash
   }
   prefix = INBOX/
   separator = /
   subscriptions = no
   type = private
}
namespace subscriptions {
   hidden = yes
   list = no
   subscriptions = yes
   type = private
}
