Yikes! I thought this was a private install. :( The namespace would be a
pretty radical change. It tells dovecot how to present folders.
I'm not a namespace guru - but I'm fairly sure that's the issue.

I would suggest creating an alternate config file, using different ports and
system directories, to test a namespace change.
It's OK. It appears to not have impacted any existing data. Perhaps
just changes how the new folders are managed.
Yep.
I did see a file in my
Maildir called 'subscriptions' and when I opened it with a text
editor, it had the old invalid IMAP directory structure...should I
delete or rename this file on my mailbox and then restart the client
to force it to re-build this subscriptions file?
The subscriptions file is only used by the MUAs, and you can set them
to ignore it. I would just tell the MUAs to ignore it. You can
safely delete it - except if you have an MUA that is using it then the
folders will disappear...
I suppose if you have a PDA and a huge folder structure you might have
the PDA use subscriptions and trim down the folder list...
I would 'start fresh' and remove it.
