I moved the user from courier maildir to mdbox, and I've still got the
maildir folders around, the filesystem shows it as:

drwx------   6 mail mail  4096 Oct 20 07:56 .A----->B

I just realized my mistake, my 'doveadm mailbox rename' command wasn't
limited to the particular user (I was not passing -u <username>) so it
was looking in the wrong namespace for that user.

Once I specified the user, it worked properly.
