That depends on the namespace configuration in dovecot. 

An excerpt from the output of "doveadm mailbox list" on my server looks
like this:

[...]
Admin.DVZ
Admin.DVZ.server
Admin.DVZ.server.events
Admin.DVZ.server.events.nagios
Admin.DVZ.server.events.nagios.FM
Admin.DVZ.server.events.nagios.dkm
Admin.DVZ.server.events.nagios.verw
Admin.DVZ.server.events.nagios.net
Admin.DVZ.server.events.nagios.sonstiges
[...]

And my namespace configuration:

namespace inbox {
  hidden = no
  inbox = yes
  list = yes
  location = maildir:~/Maildir
  prefix = 
  separator = .
  subscriptions = yes
  type = private
}

Depending on your "prefix" and "separator" settings the names of the
mailboxes change.

Again: use "doveadm mailbox list" to find out, what the names should be.
