Thx for your long post!  ^_^
I understood that it was something like .<prefix><separator>folder1<separator>folder2
But, from my tests, it seems not to work as expected...  At least not with thunderbird.
By default, Tbird has "allow server to override namespaces"
prefix=INBOX. and separator=.  => no prefix and Trash system not working.
prefix= and separator=.  => INBOX. prefix (from tbird) and Trash system working.
'/' in prefix and separator seems to be ignored (converted to '.').
I guess I will leave it to prefix= and separator=. but one user who uses apple mail complained about some prefix problems...

Thx,
