Or you can put "altnamespace: 1" in your /etc/imapd.conf file.

<quote src="man imapd.conf">
altnamespace: 0
(default value=0)

Use the alternate IMAP namespace, where personal folders reside at the
same level in the hierarchy as  INBOX.

This  option  ONLY  applies  where interaction takes place with the
client/user.  Currently this is limited to the IMAP protocol (imapd) and
Sieve scripts (lmtpd).  This option does NOT apply to admin tools such
as cyradm (admins ONLY),  reconstruct,  quota,  etc.,  NOR  does it
affect LMTP delivery of messages directly to mailboxes via plusaddressing.
