OK .. but then this change needs to be shepherded _really_ carefully, since 
the effect was:

1) Upgrade KMail
2) Get 100MB of junk all of a sudden in folders
3) Lose old setting of prefix
4) Have to find setting in config dialog, guess new setting, remove additional 
namespaces
5) Try cleaning up folder display in IMAP and lose 100MB of data


I realize this will surely improve between now and whatever next release there 
is, but it's best to be forewarned.

Yeah. I still don't know what they're _for_, though, and since the 
instructions I have from the IMAP admin are: "set IMAP prefix Mail in your 
client", I suspect that IMAP namespace support isn't widespread amongst mail 
clients yet. Messing around with deleting namespaces and accounts led to (5) 
above.

Yeah, I ended up deleting all my IMAP accounts, creating new ones and 
immediately removing all namespaces from the list and setting just Personal 
-> "Mail" ; I'm deathly afread to go near the account config dialog now 
because it might re-introduce the namespaces again.
