[Dovecot] Reading Mutt mboxes from Thunderbird

Hi, I'm a user of Mutt, and before moving to Thunderbird I'm trying to
share mboxes between them. To do this, I installed Dovecot to create an
IMAP server in my local machine, to serve mutt mboxes to be read by
Thunderbird.

So far, I can read my inbox from /var/mail/%u, but in mutt, I have many
folders in ~/mail, like 2010-mails, 2011-mails, mailing-list-x,
mailing-list-y, and so on. How can I configure Dovecot to read them?.

In /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf I have this:

mail_location = mbox:~/Mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u 

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, and Dovecot 2.0.13.

Regards,
