This is documented in the example config file:

# Using Courier remotely and want to duplicate its mailbox naming

# nametrans = lambda foldername: re.sub('^INBOX\.*', '.', foldername)

That should do it for you, assuming your mailboxes are stored under
INBOX remotely.  This is true for Courier, may vary for others.
