It's kind of possible to do that, but Dovecot has some problems with
updating the view I think. Or maybe it was only when email was deleted
that it didn't properly update the view.

This is your real mail's namespace.

namespace {
prefix =
separator = /
location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:INDEX=~/Maildir/virtual
inbox = yes
}
namespace {
prefix = RealMails/
separator = /
list = no
hidden = yes
}
This has the problem that user now can't create any mailboxes other than
what you have created globally..
There's really no automatic way to do this.
