No response? 

I was pretty sure this would be something someone had run into sometime. 
[probably often!]
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
[I've done a bunch of trials with different settings in the namespace, but none 
of the things I've tried so far resolve the issue. So, it's not like I've not 
made a legit run at it.]

Using mbox format
and this namespace

namespace {
 inbox = yes
 hidden = yes
 prefix = INBOX/
}

[Though I've also tried, seemingly, a million different namespace options to 
"fix" my problem.]
It's a migrated setup from a 1.x dovecot install from Ubuntu 12.04, now on 16.04

The problem is in TBird [I haven't tested with any other mail clients] and 
IMAP; with that name-space I get all the folders both at the root level [same 
as inbox], as well as below inbox.
[The same folders, pointing at the same underlying messages.]

For example, if there's a folder "blah" and I subscribe to it, "blah" shows 
both at the same level as inbox, as well as a sub-item of inbox.
If I unsubscribe from folder "blah" it also unsubscribes from the subfolder 
"blah" under inbox, and at the root level.
[I hope that's clear enough...]

This is not a terrible problem, but it's cosmetically ugly and confusing for 
users.
I'd prefer to only see these folders as subscribed as sub-folders [or 
sub-items] under inbox.

I'd guess I'm making some stupid beginner error, but I've not been able to 
figure it out, as of yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
