Well, I don't remember switching any namespace separator, but I may have
done it at some point when switching from Courier to Dovecot. Anyway,
Dovecot 1.1 ran this way for a long time with no issues, only after the
upgrade to 1.2 I noticed the problem.

Also, you haven't commented on my last phrase: "please let me know the best
way to fix the configuration/subscriptions." Specifically:
- Should I switch the separator to "."?
- If I don't, then how to edit the subscription files? Should
Public-NIB.foo.bar become Public-NIB/foo.bar or Public-NIB/foo/bar? And what
about INBOX.foo.bar?
- Anything else I can do?

Thanks
Adrian
