The 'user' prefix is displayed for mailboxes that the authenticated user has
ACL access to, but is not perceived to be the user's own mailboxes.

Or in other words, if you were to authenticate as jsmith, and attempt to
view the mailboxes for msmith, you will get the 'user' prefix.

cyrus imapd believes that test at mydomain.net and test are different
users. You can either create a mailbox for test at mydomain.net, or configure your
virt domain options (defaultdomain).
