Not really.  Problem reports are typically accompanied by errors in log
files.  You've provided none.  You've provided only subjective
observation which is rarely useful in troubleshooting.  If you provide
some Dovecot logging related to the problem we may be able to help.
Short of that we can only make wild ass guesses.

Are your clients subscribing all IMAP folders?  Are your clients
checking all folders for new mail?
