That's my setup. I just tried it, and it works for me. However, I created the imap folder through mail.app and used a rule to route mail into it. Presumably you are creating your imap folders remotely, and using procmail or something to route mail into them. If that's the case, then my test isn't valid.

Hello,
I am using dovecot as an IMAP server to which Mail.app (Apple Mail) connects. However I do not get any notification of new mails in folders other than the inbox, unless I disconnect and reconnect Mail.app or click on the folder with new mail.
I'm pretty sure the problem comes from Mail.app. I have searched on Google for how to go around this issue, and have not yet found a solution. If someone here uses Mail.app and dovecot, I'd be really glad to have some advice as to what to do.
(by the way, and this is probably related: new folders created in the maildir structure do not get reflected in Mail.app until I disconnect and reconnect).
Thanks a lot,
