Why is there even INBOX/ or INBOX^ prefix at all? Did you intentionally create it under INBOX, or do you have namespace prefix in TB settings set to INBOX/ or something?

People rarely use other separators than '.' and '/'. I guess it's possible that TB just doesn't like '^'. What TB version are you testing with?

Anyway, you could test that Dovecot does nothing wrong by talking IMAP protocol:

telnet localhost 143
a login user pass
b namespace
c list "" *
d lsub "" *

If the separators are all '^' there, then it's all ok from Dovecot's side.
