I made that change and reloaded Dovecot and all my users on the mail server lost the folders...
Sorry - I was wrong. This didn't remove anything from my server. I guess it helps when you issue the ls -la command. I was just being paranoid. My question now is how do I clean up my Maildir/ to how it should be?
Right now after the change and successfully restarting IMAP, I have the following directory when I login to Linux. I haven't opened up any mail clients yet...
