Dovecot wants the folders directory names to begin with a dot, so name it ".test". Subfolders would be named as ".test.subfolder". This is compatible with Courier's Maildir++ format.

Right. that is what I have as im using the Maildir folders from Courier but I still do not see mail showing up in them. The folder itself shows up but no mail.

Oh, I think then you're just using mutt a bit wrong :) Enter-key goes inside a subfolder, space-key selects the folder. A folder can itself contain mail but it can also contain subfolders, so this is needed.

With Courier you probably got away with just enter-key because you didn't have such subfolders and Courier gives mutt hints about if folders have subfolders. Dovecot doesn't yet support that extension so mutt always assumes they have subfolders.
