They shouldn't begin with ".INBOX". If you can't get rid of them with
cyrus2dovecot, rename them manually.

(Although I'm not sure why cyrus2dovecot would have added that prefix..
Wonder if you actually had them with Cyrus as well, and clients just had
configured "INBOX." prefix. That wasn't correct either.)

Yeah, that's what it should have been after conversion.

Regardless of how you set up namespaces, the filesystem shouldn't
contain the INBOX prefix.
