I've gone through the same pain two days ago (switched from mailfiles
to maildirs) and got the same error message.
I don't know exactly what I did to get it working (apart from using
strong language...), but:
- I switched to courier-imap  (cyrus should also be possible, but
didn't work out-of-the-box for me);
- execute /etc/squirrelmail/conf.pl, option 'D' 'set pre-defined
settings for specific IMAP servers', select courier.

Hope this helps,
