I prefer to define everything, even the values that have a default, so  
I would define
location (even if mail_location should apply to the default namespace)  
and the separator.

Also, you should really have distinct prefix (as stated in the example  
config).
I would specify inbox = no, although this also might be implied.
I suppose that </pre> comes form some forgotten HTML but is not in  
your conf.
