But the problem is that it asks for separator for the "" namespace,
which doesn't exist. Dovecot does return the separator as long as it can
find a namespace for it.

Some people however set inbox=yes namespace to be /var/mail/user mbox,
while everything else to be ~/Maildir with '.' separator. If those users
also set ~/Maildir namespace to "INBOX.", that would break them..

I don't really understand how this changes anything :)
