I did the same when moving to FC2. I have this setting in dovecot.conf:
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u
Note that UW-IMAP roots your mail folder hierarchy at ~, while this Dovecot
setting roots it at ~/mail, so you'll need to change your client
subscriptions to eliminate the "mail" from the top of the hierarchy. Or you
could move the whole tree to ~/mail/mail, but I think that's a worse hack.
I'm using Mulberry for my client, and I set a "wildcard cabinet" of "*"
under "Check Favourites" so that my entire folder hierarchy gets checked
periodically. This is orders of magnitude faster with Dovecot than it was
with UW-IMAP. I'd guess about 2 seconds to check over 100 folders.
