It will probably be helpful to provide output of dovecot -n so we can 
see your config... ?




hope this sheds some light on the matter... will try recopying the 
maildirs and redoing the suggested conversion procedure.

[Dovecot] courier IMAP to dovecot migration: folders not showing up

[Jacob Yocom-Piatt]

i have been running postfix + courier-imap + cyrus sasl for several 
years and have some prior experience with dovecot + postfix and had no 
problems. now that i'm trying to convert an existing courier-imap 
configuration to dovecot and all the various parts work together (e.g. 
mail delivery and dovecot sasl), i cannot get the folder subscription 
issue sorted.


the machine is running netbsd 4.1 + postfix 2.5.1 + dovecot 1.0.13.

searching for a bit yields the following useful links

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration/Courier
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Migration
http://marc.info/?l=dovecot&m=120592911416484&w=2

i have downloaded and run the courier-dovecot-migrate.pl script and that 
does not do the trick, nor does following it up with the suggested 
changes in the private namespace.


an example of one of the maildirs i have at hand is

mail# ls 
-al   


total 1580
drwx--  71 vmail  users 2560 Jun 27 13:47 .
drwx--  24 vmail  users  512 May 28 14:10 ..
drwx--   6 vmail  users  512 Jun 27 12:10 .Drafts
drwx--   5 vmail  users  512 Jun 27 13:17 .INBOX.Trash

drwx--   6 vmail  users  512 Jun 27 12:45 .Trash.bro
drwx--   6 vmail  users  512 Jun 27 12:45 .associates


and the subscriptions file, after courier-dovecot-migrate.pl runs is

Trash
Sent
Drafts
associates


based on the folder subscriptions, i have attempted to move the folders 
preceded by a '.' to the same name without a '.'. this does not fix the 
problem either.


any clues on how to fix this issue would be welcome.

cheers,
jake
