It should be the empty string since you are setting mailsubdir.

Otherwise, don't set mailsubdir, and instead set "root folder" to "mail".

Because that is apparently the way that your client works.

If I had to guess, setting "root folder" makes it ignore the namespaces 
and instead do what set in "root folder".  But since you set up a 
mailsubdir, setting root folder to "mail" would cause mail/mail which is 
not what you want.  The absolute path overrides what mailsubdir would do.
