I've done that but now I stumbled upon a (logical) problem. Supposing 
user has ``very/deep/path/to/mbox_file''.
If the rules specify ``path/to/mbox_file'', should it be ignored or not ?
I currently only match ``very/deep/path/to/mbox_file'' exactly only.
I originally meant to ignore only standard mboxes, like ``INBOX'' 
(because my MTA already checks this), ``Trash'', ``Ham'' and ``Spam'' 
(because a cronjob expires the former and auto-learns as ham/spam from 
the latters)
But what if the user moves these to e.g. ``Uninteresting/Trash'', 
``SpamFilter/Ham'' and ``SpamFilter/Spam''.

I'm afraid I lack some understanding of namespaces to do this. I read 
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces but still can't get it...
