This is (once again) correct IMAP behaviour by MailV.
You could edit your folder hierarchy (with a competent IMAP client such as Mulberry or the web or CL interface of your mail service provider (if they have one)) such that the mailboxes are not so deeply nested e.g.
Inbox.Filtered.Lists.Newtontalk
could be moved up the hierachy to:
Inbox.Filtered.Newtontalk
or even:
Inbox.Newtontalk
An alternative would be, as you attempted, to shorten the names of the mailboxes. You would again need to do this per competent client / web or cli. You can't successfully edit them on the Newt.
HTH,
