Ok, that worked. I moved /home/%u/.mailboxlist to /home/% u/mail/.subscriptions and now I can see all the folders under the IMAP section. That was too easy. None of the pages I viewed said that. There were a few pages with people posting their scripts to convert and make everything work but I just didn't feel comfortable doing all of that. This was much simpler. Now I just have to see what happens as far as when I start receiving email that are filtered to the mailboxes and everything should be set. Thank you very much. This has been a headache.

I take it you're not using Dovecot for POP3, then? If not, any particular reason why not?
Yes I am using Dovecot for POP3, it wasn't working before but it started working. I changed: default_mail_env = mbox:/home/%u/mail:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u to something else and then restarted dovecat service then changed it back and restarted the service and it would then allow me to get pop.
What did you change it to, out of interest?
If you can get your mail via POP3, then you should be able to get the mail via IMAP, assuming it's enabled in the config file.
What happens when you try to connect to IMAP? Are there any messages in the log files?
- Which version of Dovecot? 0.99.11
This is a fairly old version, now... you might want to see if there are updates to 0.99.13
- What are you migrating from?
I kind of migrated from FC1 but It was a fresh install i just transfered /home/* from the old hd to the new one.Ah. As I understand it, FC1 shipped with Cyrus-IMAP or something. You may have to clean up some of the subscription files. Check on the Dovecot WIKI for details, such as http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration
You may also want to check http://wiki.dovecot.org/MissingMailboxes if you still have troubles.
