Oh, my previous post only removed the INBOX/ namespace.  Do you want  
me to run it again without the INBOX. namespace, and/or without both  
namespaces?

It doesn't seem to matter since Mail.app appears to only care about  
INBOX/ and Thunderbird only cares about INBOX.  At last AFAICT, the  
two don't interfere at all.

Maybe there's some hidden Mail.app configuration variable floating  
around in a plist or something?

One other thing: I just this morning hit the "too many open files"  
bug that someone else just mentioned.  Dovecot's been running  
flawlessly for at least a week now, but starting and stopping the  
dovecot executable didn't seem to help.  I had to reboot the box to  
get things to work again.
