Sounds to me, as your IMAP server defaults to your $HOME and you do not
have set a namespace. Try setting the correct namespace, where your IMAP
server is supposed to store the mail, if it defaults to your $HOME.

 [x] Override server-supplied folder namespace
 Namespace: [__________]

Which IMAP server does that "other user" use? Is it really the same one?
Does he override the namespace? Do you currently?

Hmm... The "other user" has the "Show only subscribed folders" option
enabled, whereas you don't?
