I'm going to cross post this to the dovecot list in case someone there has an
idea. To bring those people up to speed: I'm evaluating ISMail
(www.insidesystems.net) as a replacement for IMP.  I'm having problems
configuring the IMAP settings to work with Dovecot.

I've got some progress. I set rootmailfolder to "~/mail".  When I login to
ISMail, it creates the directory ~/inbox as follows:

  mail
      Sent Items

then dies.

If I set rootmailfolder to as "rootmailfolder=" with no argument, it creates

   .imap
      INBOX
          .customflags  
          .imap.index.data  
          .imap.index.tree
          .imap.index   
          .imap.index.log
then dies

If I set rootmail folder to "INBOX"

    INBOX
       Sent Items
    .subscriptions
    .imap
       INBOX
         .customflags  
         .imap.index.data  
         .imap.index.tree
         .imap.index   
         .imap.index.log
