Yes you must  create a separate namespace   like this :

namespace {
     prefix = Somename.
     separator = .
     location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual
     type = private
     list = yes
}

The separator must be the same for ALL namespaces , as the documentation
states.

This is tricky . I tried to create a virtual  folder namespace for use
with a public
namespace , but got into file system permission trouble.
For Individual users works OK , but you will need to administer it, because
it's not manageable from a users perspective (it's complicated).
