You cannot change the namespace that imapfilter has gotten from the
server, but you can see what the server is sending and what imapfilter
thinks the namespace's prefix and delimiter are with the -d option.  You
should look into the appropriate $HOME/.imapfilter/debug.* file, search
for "NAMESPACE", it's one of the first commands that imapfilter sends to
the server...

You cannot set the namespace prefix, but you can disable the "automatic"
namespace mechanism, and then set the correct mailbox/folder names by
yourself. Thus, no automatic substitutions of the namespace prefix and
delimiter will be performed by imapfilter, it's your responsibility to
correctly address a mailbox/folder then...

If imapfilter doesn't find out the correct namespace prefix/delimiter,
I'd like you to tell me more about it (eg. by sending me the relevant
debug.* file parts), in order to fix the problem... Thanks
