Enabled. 

I can't read that option without hearing Bubbles say it.

Might this also help: maildir_broken_filename_sizes = yes

I was a little suspicious of sizes and had considered running your maildir-size-fix.pl script.  They did come from Courier and after 10 years or more of operation, the risk of cruftiness is high.  However, I thought it was a long shot as I IMAP-Synced to the new directory so the directory was built by dovecot... right?  I mean it wasn't a # mv operation.
