dovecot - Dec 2005 - Migrating from Courier-IMAP to Dovecot

Hi!

I'm currently trying to migrate from courier-imapd to dovecot... 
Unfortunately I'm experiences some difficulties here...
Since I don't want any user to notice the change of the server backend 
I've tried changing the namespace in dovecot.conf to

namespace private {
        separator = .
        location = maildir:~/Maildir
        prefix = INBOX.
        inbox = yes
        hidden = no
}

With this setting almost everything works fine! Almost... ;-) 
Squirrelmail won't show 'INBOX' on the left side of the folder
tree...
If  I configure dovecot without the 'INBOX.' prefix it works fine in 
Squirrelmail, except that all other eMail clients show all sub-folders 
as a sub-folder of root and not the inbox...

root
\- inbox
\- sent
\- trash
\- drafts
\- private
\- spam

instead of
root
\- inbox
|  \- sent
|  \- trash
|  \- drafts
|  \- private
|  \- spam

any Idea what could be wrong?
I've read the wiki about the courier-migration and also tried the 
conversion script ... but something is wrong I'm afraid...

thanks in advance,

Andreas

You have contacted wrong list. Display of inbox subfolders depends on used
SquirrelMail version and other SquirrelMail settings. You haven't provided
information about your SquirrelMail version and used preset.
