Namespace issues & duplicate maiboxes

Hello,

I am seeing duplicate mailboxes when I perform the “doveadm mailbox list” command…the output is as follows:

=================

INBOX
INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.Trash
INBOX.Sent
INBOX.INBOX
INBOX.INBOX.Sent Messages
INBOX.INBOX.Drafts
INBOX.INBOX.Trash
INBOX.INBOX.Deleted Messages

=================

Here is namespace config that seems to have caused the above duplicates.  Please help me understand what I’m doing wrong here…and also, not sure if this is relevant but the client is Apple Mail…

=================

namespace inbox {
	type = private
	separator = .
	inbox = yes
	prefix = INBOX.
	mailbox Trash {
    		auto = subscribe
  	  	special_use = \Trash
	}
	mailbox Drafts {
		auto = subscribe
		special_use = \Drafts
	}
	mailbox Sent {
		auto = subscribe
		special_use = \Sent
	}
}
