Courier follows the Maildir format.  If your user's old folders aren't in
the Maildir format, you'll need to convert them to such.  There are plenty
of scripts that can handle the conversion, just google for "maildir mbox
convert".  If you're folders are in some other proprietary format, you'll
need to find another conversion program or use IMAPCopy -
http://home.arcor.de/armin.diehl/imapcopy/imapcopy.html to move them from
the old server to Courier, thus converting them to Maildir format.
