With 0.99.10 you'd have to fix functions in
src/lib-storage/index/mbox/mbox-storage.c

With 1.0-tests it's possible by defining namespaces:

namespace private {
  separator = /
  inbox = yes
  prefix =
}
namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = mail/
  hidden = yes
}
namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = ~/mail/
  hidden = yes
}
namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = ~%u/mail/
  hidden = yes
}
