[Dovecot] Help please: Migrating Courier imap - Dovecot (Postfix virtual mailbox domains)

I'm trying to migrate from qmail to postfix.

The original server is combo of qmail and Courier imap (no pop mailboxes)

I have a working Postfix config and had imap working with Courier imap on
the new server.  I thought I would experiment with Dovecot as it has some
good press.

I have moved the contents of my original maildir's to the new server and
ste permissions and group membership appropriatley.
I can read the 'Inbox' via Dovecot but non of the subfolders that I had
configured.

I have tried the 'manual' migration method as described in the faq without
success (I can see the subfolders but no contents)and have tried running
courier-dovecot-migrate.pl witt he same result.  I'd be grateful for any
advice.

Kind regards,

Mark.
