http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables states that %w only works for
Dovecot-auth so this does not seem to work for imap client proxy.

I assume you will need to use a master user (masteruser) to login
on behalf of the actual user (loginuser), since the user should be
already authenticated when he sees the namespace "oldmail".

http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Authentication/MasterUsers

There is an "imapc_master_user" setting in newer versions of
Dovecot 2.1, try something like this?

imapc_user = %u
imapc_master_user = masteruser
imapc_password = enter_password_of_masteruser_here

or alternatively for older versions:

imapc_user = %u*masteruser
imapc_password = enter_password_of_masteruser_here

Regards
Daniel
