We just migrated away from our AIX machines which were running Postfix and UW-IMAP. We're now running Postfix with Dovecot. I already converted everyone's mbox file to maildir, but now I'm having a little troubles with how to exactly populate their IMAP folders. People are saying they cannot see their folders. These 'folders' they are talking about can be found in their /home directory.
We just moved from HPUX to linux and there we had the problem, that with IMAP and UW-IMAPd you had to specify a Folder Path in the client. With Dovecot and Maildir you don't need this.
Check if your users have set this folder path. That solved a lot of problems here.

Hi Philipp,
Our users are using Outlook Express and Outlook. I just set up an IMAP account that is having the issue and I didn't specify any folders. I just used the defaults.
What's even more odd is that when I created a new folder within Outlook Express, I see it in /home/USERNAME/Maildir/subscriptions, but I don't see the folder anywhere...how does Dovecot see these IMAP folders? Is there some sort of tag that is contained within each Maildir email that tells what folder it goes in to?
