dovecot - Jan 2020 - Namespace problem? duplicated folders...

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.

I'm guessing you have your namespace definition separate from your 
special-use mailbox declarations. Possibly in 10-mail.conf and 
15-mailboxes.conf? Not that it matters.

First sugggestion - that first namespace definition. Change it from:

	namespace {

to

	namespace inbox {

and see what happens.

And I should have seen that from your first post but output from 
"doveconf" is definitive.
