What do the rights look like?  You may need to do a:

chown -R user.group /home/user/Maildir

run this as root, replace user with your username and group with your
primary group (probably same as user) and /home/user with your own home
directory path.  If that doesn't fix it, is /var/log/maillog saying
anything?  Do a:

ls -al /home/user/Maildir

and post the results here.

Permissions were correct.

/var/log/maillog doesn't exist.

WTF is .subscriptions?

You've not been telling the whole story. You were clearly using dovecot before, and are trying to migrate to Courier-IMAP.

That's fine, but you just can't plop the entire maildir verbatim from one, and expect the other one to make any sense of it.

At the bare minimum, you need to:

A) Remove all .files in the maildir that are not actual maildir folders, at least .subscriptions and .customflags that I can see here, and whatever else dovecot has sprayed in here. dovecot* should also be deleted, but Courier-IMAP will simply ignore those files.

(I hope that's legible -- it isn't at my end.)

There should be subfolders under Mailing lists, but they're not showing up:

Thanks for the help!

That's not how Courier-IMAP stores subfolders. If there were any subfolders of Mailing lists, they would be named .Mailing lists.subfoldername, and hang off the top maildir.
