Hi! Thanks for the fast reply. I have had no namespaces, now I tried to insert the namespace-exampe for uw-compatibility, unfortunately, that was no help. I restarted dovecot and thunderbird, but it cannot find the default folders. I always get "NONEXISTENT" message. Creating new folders work. Moving mail to the new folders work, too.
The inbox is there, too. I can see in the "_"-folder a directory "Maildir and subdirectories named __Sent, __Junk and so on.

Overnight, I migrated my user-mails from uw-imap to dovecot-maildir. I used the uw2dovecot.pl script to convert all mails and changed exim, too. Receiving mails works fine allready, but nobody can access the usual subscribed folders with thunderbird. Via "subscriptions" I can find the converted folders in a folder called "_" (underline). People getting mad about me as the cannot find their stuff any more in the usual folders.
What can I do that they have the converted stuff in the same folders as they had before?
Have you configured any namespace? If so, please provide the output from
dovecot -n. If not, you could try it with setting up namespaces: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#Backwards_Compatibility:_UW-IMAPRegards, Pascal
