Turns out it was an issue with Apple Mail.  I hadn't run the courier- 
to-dovecot migration tool before testing Dovecot on my system, so it  
lost the subscribed mailboxes.  I got them back, but Apple Mail's  
rules that pointed to the old mailboxes were causing the problem.

As soon as I updated the rules in Apple Mail, everything started  
working normally again.
