I just noticed that this seemed strange to me (wtf is .INBOX/?), so I had a
closer look. messages are still in <maildir>/{cur,new}, however the .INBOX/
directory seems to contain some metadata:
-rw------- 1 vpopmail vpopmail 2.6K May 13 23:09 .imap.index.log
-rw------- 1 vpopmail vpopmail 45K May 15 11:22 .imap.index.data
-rw------- 1 vpopmail vpopmail 1.7K May 15 11:40 .imap.index.tree
-rw------- 1 vpopmail vpopmail 2.4K May 15 11:40 .imap.index
A closer look at the config file revealed that I did have one form of indexing
enabled (by default):
# MessagePart - FETCH BODY[1.2.3] (ie. body parts), RFC822.SIZE,
# SEARCH SMALLER, LARGER, also speeds up BODY/BODYSTRUCTURE
# generation. This is always set with mbox mailboxes, and
# also default with Maildir.
#
# Different IMAP clients work in different ways, that's why Dovecot by default
# only caches MessagePart which speeds up most operations.
So anyways, you can ignore that folder in the above list - the bottom line is
that subfolders of INBOX are explicitly named as such on the filesystem
(.INBOX.Test/ instead of .Test/). Thus a migration from dovecot to
binc/courer would result in all folders appearing moved under INBOX, with
INBOX containing a folder named INBOX with subfolders.

Oh hey, it occurred to me - that sounds a lot like the linux kernel :). I'm
more concerned about release quality than how many betas there are. Lots of
betas are fine, and I'd rather something be hammered to death before jumping
to version 1.0 instead of a premature product being prematurely labelled (I'm
a bit eccentric though I suppose, and a perfectionist - I have yet to give
anything I've written the coveted 1.x versioning).
