Hello,

unfortunately still have the same problem. Currently i believe this is a 
kind of bug.

In your example here you created two mailboxes by commandlineparams: 
http://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2013-March/089373.html
'namespace/inbox/mailbox=foo bar'

After putting this to userdb i tried a lot of masking, quoting etc, but 
dovecot is always splitting up at the blank space, and a foldername with 
blank space like "Sent Mails" seems to be impossible in userdb.
How to achieve this?
This would be nice for other features separate from the xlist feature, 
autocreation of individual folders can be used for different purposes.

What to do now?

 Thanks,
Hajo
