Converting Sendmail to Postfix - Squirrelmail Maildir

[Scott Miller-3]

I'm having a bit of an issue I'm hoping someone can help me out with.  I've
recently replaced Sendmail with Postfix, and so far so good.  I also ran a
script written by Russel Nelson that converts all e-mail located in
/var/spool/mail to a Maildir format.  That seemed to work just great.  Now,
my issue is with how squirrelmail handles the messages.  Squirrelmail can
not see customer's custom folders that have been created, nor can they see
any old messages - only new messages are visible.  Is there any way to
convert how Squirrelmail looks at these messages, or any way to convert the
old folders to the new format?  Anyone with experience with this?  Any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott Miller

Check if converted maildir folder is subscribed.

Check your IMAP server. Maybe old messages are stored in one place and new messages are stored in other.

In some IMAP servers IMAP names differ from filesystem names. If you convert some mbox mailbox called 'custom-folder' to 'custom-folder' maildir, you might have to put period in front of maildir name or IMAP server won't show it.

SquirrelMail doesn't really care about how the mail is stored and where.
All SquirrelMail does is to ask your IMAP server about the folders and
mail, so it's the IMAP server's job to care about the physical storage.
This makes your question off topic on this list.

Try with another IMAP client. My guess it that it won't work either. If
that's the case you've borked your set-up (I hope you kept a backup). It
may be fixed by reconfiguring your IMAP server, your local delivery agent
or undo the conversion to Maildir. Check the documentation for those parts
of your system.
