Hmm. That's a bit weird.

I'd like to know what causes the "Unknown namespace" error to occur.  
That'd require you to have rawlogging enabled for the user (http:// 
dovecot.org/bugreport.html) and remove the other namespace.

Hmm. Actually now that I think of it, it's not necessarily that much  
broken. I originally thought that they'd have identical namespace  
prefixes, but since they're INBOX. and INBOX/ they're a bit  
different. :) Anyway you should mark one of them with hidden=yes so  
clients that support namespaces won't show all the mailboxes twice.  
Also make only one of them have inbox=yes.

Still I don't see why/where Mail.app would be trying to use / separator.
