No I don't appear to be seeing this and I think the fact that I have
used different mail clients (Thunderbird, Evolution, etc etc etc) and
think that their default folder structure may have made a mess on my
IMAP Maildir structure over the years.

Below is my dovecot -n:

[root at mail Maildir]# dovecot -n
# 1.0.7: /etc/dovecot.conf
protocols: imap
ssl_cert_file: /srv/ssl/ghost.crt
ssl_key_file: /srv/ssl/ghost.key
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir
auth default:
  mechanisms: plain login
  passdb:
    driver: pam
  userdb:
    driver: passwd
  socket:
    type: listen
    client:
      path: /var/spool/postfix/private/auth
      mode: 432
      user: postfix
      group: postfix

Beyond that I don't know why it's messed up and more importantly, how
I can fix it. Any suggestions?
