However, I've had some slight issues elsewhere which I feel would be eased or solved by making my INBOX use maildir format, and keeping mails I want to remote-access more often in the top level maildir there (instead of always having to dip into the TB mboxes). To that end, I tried setting up:
# want to be able to add sibling and child folders here namespace private { separator = / prefix = location = /var/spool/mail/%u
location = maildir:/var/spool/mail/%u
is more robust.
inbox = yes hidden = no list = yes }
Now, this pretty much worked the way I wanted. However, afterwards, trying to connect from squirrelmail I had it say that there were no [IMAP] folders to subscribe to, including the INBOX.
Try talking directly with IMAP: http://wiki.dovecot.org/TestInstallation
The "c LIST "" *" part especially. Does it show anything? Set mail_debug=yes and it'll log the directories it's really using. Do you see your mails there?
Are you using Maildirs correctly? Note that Dovecot uses Maildir++ layout by default: http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/Maildir#Directory_Structure
