I've never used dovecot, but I know that those directories aren't what IMAP servers generally expect when looking for a rootfolderpath.

For example, courier is always 'INBOX', uw-imap is usually but not always 'mail', and sometimes it's just a blank string. My guess is that for you, it's one of those three. If your mail is in a 'mail' directory, I suggest just putting 'mail' and not '~/mail'.

I'm going to cross post this to the dovecot list in case someone there has an idea. To bring those people up to speed: I'm evaluating ISMail (www.insidesystems.net) as a replacement for IMP. I'm having problems configuring the IMAP settings to work with Dovecot.

I've got some progress. I set rootmailfolder to "~/mail". When I login to ISMail, it creates the directory ~/inbox as follows:

mail Sent Items

then dies.

If I set rootmailfolder to as "rootmailfolder=" with no argument, it creates

.imap INBOX .customflags
.imap.index.data
.imap.index.tree .imap.index
.imap.index.log then dies

If I set rootmail folder to "INBOX"

INBOX
   Sent Items
.subscriptions
.imap
   INBOX
     .customflags  
     .imap.index.data  
     .imap.index.tree
     .imap.index   
     .imap.index.log
