Probably you just don't have the Courier folders subscribed.  Dovecot uses
the "subscriptions" file and Courier uses "courierimapsubscribed".  In
Courier's file it wants the "INBOX." prefix listed for every folder (ex:
INBOX.folder), however in Dovecot's file it wants just the folder name by
itself (ex: folder).

You can either try this script to create that file for all of your users:

Or try this patch which will make Dovecot use the existing
courierimapsubscribed file:
