Thanks for the suggestions.
The user, group, and permissions on all folders (including the cur, new, and tmp) are "aj aj 700". Also, I added "mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir" (and removed "default_mail_env"). Neither has worked.
Also, my IMAP folders all work fine except for the new ones I want to create manually from the CLI.

I'm trying to use a script to create a mailbox structure. I'm aware that the structure should look like: ~/.maildir/.INBOX/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2/{cur,tmp,new} ~/.maildir/.INBOX.Subfolder2.Subsubfolder1/{cur,tmp,new} ...
I have tried manually making those directories and using the "maildirmake.dovecot" command that my system has. I feel that in the past, folders I have made this way worked. However, now none are showing up in my clients.
In Thunderbird, they aren't even listed on the "Subscribe" window for me to enable. Using Squirrelmail doesn't show them either.
Essentially what I am doing is taking my current IMAP dir structure, and making a copy in a subfolder called ".INBOX.Archive.<year>" to archive my old mail. Thus, .INBOX.Subfolder1.Subfolder2 becomes .INBOX.Archive.2009.Subfolder1.Subfolder2.
Since you have gotten as far as asking on the mailing list, it may be worth just sanity checking that your folders are being created under the correct user and group IDs.
