I have recently been testing this back and forwards. If you delete the
prefix, then refresh the folder list then a namespace with a prefix in
it will create a tree and a namespace without the INBOX. prefix will be
all inline
Personally I prefer the tree with all the folders under INBOX, but I
used the opportunity to change to do without the prefix in order to make
Outlook clients easier to setup (they otherwise don't use the Sent
Items/Drafts folder on the server without manual configuration)
