You can either rename your ".mailboxlist" file to ".subscriptions" for
all you users, or change the definition of SUBSCRIPTION_FILE_NAME in
src/lib-storage/subscription-file/subscription-file.c. In 1.0-test, this
value is defined in
src/lib-storage/subscription-fileindex/maildir/maildir-storage.h and
src/lib-storage/subscription-fileindex/mbox/maildir-storage.h.

If you're using folder prefixes and hidden namespaces, note that UW-IMAP
will store entries in the subscription file including the prefix, but
Dovecot won't.

We've patched this and also changed the location of the subscription
file to be the same directory as the indexes, which is why I forgot it
from my dotfile exclusions :)

Best Wishes,
Chris
