Yikes! I thought this was a private install. :( The namespace would
be a pretty radical change. It tells dovecot how to present folders.
I'm not a namespace guru - but I'm fairly sure that's the issue.

I would suggest creating an alternate config file, using different
ports and system directories, to test a namespace change.
