Your Thunderbird clients are set to show only subscribed folders. Dovecot by
default is not looking got the same subscriptions file that uw-imap was. So,
thunderbird shows no mailboxes because the (new) subscription file is empty.
This is one of the many reasons why subscriptions are bad, esp
Read up on namespace configuration some more.
Dovecot makes the sort of thing you're talking about very easy if you
familiarize yourself with namespaces first. It can overcome most of the
problems caused by historical poor choices in client configuration.

For migration possibilities, we're considering whether it's possible

It's a consequence of mbox, but the "problem" is with Thunderbird's
