"supscription" in IMAP-speak is the server telling the client: show this
folder to the user.

There is no differentiation between your folders an other users folders.

Your problem is that during your conversion from cyrus to dovecot your
subscriptions got lost. Maybe because the folder structure changed and
no longer matches the server-stored subscription or because the
server-stored subscription was not converted at all.
