I am currently running dovecot 1.2.15 on my home server. I have over 200 folders in personal email account, and I have found that my smart-phone does not work well trying to display that many folders.
I solved the problem by creating a second instance of dovecot running on a non standard port, and configured it to serve only a subset my email folders, so that way the email client on my smartphone works well and I can read the emails I am interested in on the move.
Here's a simple improvement. Create a new email user and symlink just those folders you want to see into it.
That way you don't need 2 instances just two different users and you use one on mobile the other elsewhere ;)
Using virtual folders could be helpful as well. I have a New mails one which shows me all new emails in all folders which helps in a lot of places.
