If it helps, here's a simple session:

Namespace config:

namespace inbox {
# per http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier
  prefix = INBOX.
  separator = .
  type = private
  inbox = yes
  hidden = no
  list = yes
  subscriptions = yes
}

One issue I ran into with the courier-compatible namespaces is that in my quota plugin rules, I had to explicitly state the full path to the "special" mailboxes when applying quota rules to them:

(in 90-quota.conf)

plugin {
  quota_rule = Inbox.Trash:storage=+100M
  quota_rule2 = Inbox.Spam:storage=+100M
}

HTH,

Charles
