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

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

....
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
