Even though you didn't explicitly create a namespace, Dovecot internally
created it for you. So as long as you create an identical namespace your
clients don't see any difference. The identical namespace can be created
easily:

namespace private {
}

(or at least I'm pretty sure it fills out the defaults by itself)
