We went through a courier to dovecot conversion.
There are a couple of things that might be causing this problem.
- Dovecot namespaces
- Client configuration
Your namespaces might not be taking into account the fact that
courier prefixed all files and directories in the maildir with a dot
(.).
You can get around this a couple of ways. We had almost no IMAP
clients under courier, so I renamed everything in our IMAP client
directories away from .files and .directories, and used a default
namespace without dots.
Also some clients like Apple Mail needed an IMAP prefix like INBOX.
to work with courier. I had to remove those with the dovecot
namespace I set up.

Hello,
I am running Dovecot 0.99 on OpenSuse 10.0. Previously, I was running courier IMAP with vpopmail on Suse 9.3. In the process of the
change, I decided to sing MySQL to authenticate the users, provide home dir,
uid and gid.I tar'ed up the old mail directories, moved them to the new server,
added a new user and group to own the files, set the files uid/gid to match
the values in the db. Next, I followed the Migration directions on http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration. I can successfully authenticate
the new users, have no errors in the log file but when I am logged in I
only see the Inbox. There should be other folders as well as mail in the
inbox. No errors in the log files.Any ideas?
