I had been following the threads, so I was keeping my eye out for a 
stable "stable" release. :)

I discovered that the SPEC file that I used to build my RPM (after some 
minor modification to the SPEC file to properly handle the stable 
release numbers (date specific)) created imap, imaps, pop3, pop3s in 
/etc/pam.d, but didn't create a "dovecot" file (which is really all it 
needs).  I symbolically linked dovecot to point to imap, restarted 
dovecot, and all was well.

I looked at the "Upgrade" link you pointed me to, specifically 
mentioning that the .subscriptions file had changed to "subscriptions" 
(minus the initial period).. I didn't have a chance to change mine 
before my latest tests, but all of my "subscribed" folders came up just 
fine.  Odd..
