I already answered most of the question on kmail-devel I think but 
nevertheless I try to give you more infos here.

There is no reliable way to transport this prefix from the old config to the 
new namespace based config as the server can support more than one personal 
namespace. Therefore I do not know what namespace should be mapped to this 
prefix.

Then you have an UW-imap server which supports a whole list of namespaces and 
all those show up. And if you have folders that reside under "#ftp" they will 
show up in the foldertree under a folder "#ftp". If the namespace is empty it 
will be ignored.
Your personal namespace is empty ("") and therefore you see all folders. 
Change it to "Mail" by double clicking (do not use "/Mail/") and you're done. 
If kmail already created a folder "Mail" your personal folders will be 
created underneath it with the next listing. If you do not want this but want 
them to show up in your toplevel (under the account folder) you'll have to 
delete the account, create it again, edit the namespace (to Mail) and start a 
new listing. Then your personal folders will be created in your toplevel. I 
have the same config here so it works definitely ;-)
