Removing the Inbox Prefix in Dovecot

This is how you remove the Inbox Prefix server-side when using Dovecot.

Firstly let’s create the file…

nano /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-prefix.conf

Now we need to add the following to it…

namespace inbox {
separator = .
prefix =
inbox = yes
}

Finally restart Dovecot…

service dovecot restart

And you’re done.
