[Dovecot] a namespace "mbox" without an INBOX

hi,

(dovecot 1.0r15)

I try to setup up two namespaces:
  1- the first one (and default one) a maildir namespace
  2- the second one a mbox namespace

I want only one "INBOX", in the maildir namespace, no INBOX in the
mbox namespace.

I get what I want with this configuration:

----------------------------------------

mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir

namespace private {
 inbox = yes
}

namespace private {
    separator = .
    prefix = mbox.
    location = mbox:~/mbox:INBOX=
    inbox = no
    hidden = no
}

----------------------------------------

My question is: 

   is it a normal way to do what I want ?

I mean, the line     
  location = mbox:~/mbox:INBOX=
looks odd.

I try with just the line inbox=no (without INBOX=) but dovecot set a
default INBOX that disturbs some mail client.

yours,
