The idea is that you should make everything work with the default
prefix="" namespace and mail_location=mbox:~/mail. So your subscriptions
should have e.g. "Spam" without prefix. Your autocreate rules should
have "Spam" without prefix. After all that works properly, you create
the compatibility namespaces that are used only by the clients that have
already explicitly configured them.
