[Dovecot] Hide INBOX prefix on shared mailboxes

Hello List,

We've upgraded our Dovecot system from 1.2.4 to 2.0.12.

If someone now accesses an inbox of another user at the shared
namespace, the folder will be shown as:

    shared/martin/INBOX

The 1.2 installation has shown the folder like

    shared/martin  

Is it possible to achieve the "old" behavior?

** Configuration of the namespaces

* dovecot 1.2

  namespace private {
    separator = /
    prefix = 
    #location defaults to mail_location.
    inbox = yes
  }
  
  namespace shared {
    separator = /
    prefix = shared/%%n
    location = maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/shared/%%n/
    subscriptions = no
    list = children
  }



* dovecot 2.0

  namespace {
    type = private
    separator = /
    prefix = 
    #location defaults to mail_location.
    inbox = yes
  }
  
  namespace {
    type = shared
    separator = /
    prefix = shared/%%n/
    location = maildir:%%h:INDEX=~/shared/%%n
    subscriptions = no
    list = children
  }


Best regards,
Martin Werthmoeller
