It's not going to change any time soon. We have to show the namespace
for a variety of reasons -- there were serious problems on Courier
servers (people not being able to read their INBOX after certain
operations), eventual support for full IMAP namespaces
(private/public/shared), fixing folder naming ambiguity.

The bit that needs to be fixed is migration of filters, vfolders, and
some preferences, but the current way IMAP folders appear in the folder
tree is going to stay. It is a bit disconcerting at first but it is the
way it needs to be done.
