[Dovecot] Why am I getting more imap folders?
At one point I was just using what was under ~/mail now I have: ~/mail ~/mail/fedora ~/mail/trash ~/mail/mplayer ~/mail/yahoo ~/mail/Scott ~/mail/.imap/fedora ~/mail/.imap/fedora/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/fedora/.imap.index.tree ~/mail/.imap/trash ~/mail/.imap/trash/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/mplayer ~/mail/.imap/mplayer/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/yahoo ~/mail/.imap/yahoo/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/yahoo/.imap.index.data ~/mail/.imap/yahoo/.imap.index.tree ~/mail/.imap/Scott ~/mail/.imap/Scott/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/INBOX ~/mail/.imap/INBOX/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/old_subscriptions/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/old_subscriptions/.imap.index.data ~/mail/.imap/ffmpeg ~/mail/.imap/ffmpeg/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/apache ~/mail/.imap/apache/.imap.index ~/mail/.imap/dovecot ~/mail/.imap/dovecot/.imap.index ~/mail/ffmpeg ~/mail/apache ~/mail/dovecot
These are not all the files but just the most recently touched files. Can I not just have imap view and use the ~/mail files? Is this normal? Can I have it set up to use the maildir files that are already there? It used to work that way but I guess that is with the other imap server that came with fc1.

The ~/mail/.imap/ directory is for Dovecot's indexes. If you want to place them in different directory, you can do it with eg.:
default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail:INDEX=%h/mail-indexes
Or you can just forget that they're there. Dovecot doesn't show them to clients.

I'm not really sure what you're asking. ~/mail typically contains only mboxes, so are you talking about something else? If not, why do you have both mboxes and maildirs?
Some patched UW-IMAPs are capable of handling mixed mbox/maildir directories, Dovecot isn't yet.

In ~/mail there are files that are actually mail directories. I don't know what they are called but that is the way it has been since RH5.3 until FC1. This problem has only been since FC1.

I have always had ~/mail/* but since I've moved to dovecot everything else started to appear.
