OK, these namespaces are actually supported by your server.

You can delete this, otherwise you'll get duplicates.

That doesn't make sense. Prefixes are relative by definition (according to
the imap rfc). In the case of uw the folders are created in your home
directory and you specify a prefix (overwrite the <empty> part) when you
want to store them in another directory relative to your home (such as
"Mail"). You might try to overwrite the empty prefix with
/var/mail/folders/richert but I can't guarantee that this works as this is
a really broken setup.
