[Dovecot] Custom Trash (etc) location

Hi there.
I have dovecot 1.2.17 installed on me system.
I'd like to create a gmail-esque imap tree where all imap folders except
for the inbox are in a subdirectory(?). More importantly, I'd like the
email client (specifically thunderbird) to be able to recognise the
folders and thusly give it a special trash/junk/etc icon which I presume
also makes trash and junk go to, well the truash and junk folders
automagically. Based on searching the web, I believe that namespaces are
the solution. I believed that I had set it up to be
1) Inbox
2) IMAP
- Drafts
- Junk
- Trash
- etc
However, when trying to use namespaces, I get IMAP.Drafts, IMAP.Junk and
all the other folders also appearing in INBOX, in addition to another
top-level IMAP.*. What am I doing wrong? If I understand the solutions
posted on the web correctly, solving this (resulting in only one of each
type of folder) should make thunderbird automagically recognise these
"special folders".
This is my configuration:
