Giving the different prefix a try on a test account, a mailbox directory is created, but the rest of the maidir directories (new, cur, tmp) aren't created, and the error below is returned.
The key is the message "Error: user test@sharp.fm: Initialization failed: namespace configuration error: There can be only one namespace with inbox=yes" This is somewhat of a moot point - the addition of maildir: breaks maildrop:

Is there a way to get dovecot autocreate to work without fiddling with the paths? For example, declare a global maildir default?

I have 15-mailboxes.conf where there are statements
auto=create or auto=subscribe
commented out inside namespace segments. It is where all the special use mailboxes get defined. I think the default is probably no - I can create folders with thunderbird specifically, but I don't think it is creating them automatically. I have auto = create within my special use mailboxes, and they did get created automatically when I needed them (I was deleting Trash for instance, but it sprung back after I had done that when it was next needed.
