Ok, admittedly we could work around this in some way if we wanted to,
probably by special-casing namespaces beginning with INBOX, but that's
just a waste of time. Namespaces will need to be prefixed in once IMAP
gets support for public and shared folders so not doing the namespacing
will just result in us having to break people's IMAP uri's and folder
trees later as opposed to sooner.

Really, this is like the 'n and p' versus ', and .' thing, it isn't that
big of a deal, use it a bit and you'll get used to it.
