courier-imap is not dovecot.

If you are migrating from courier-imap to dovecot, or from dovecot to
courier-imap, then that's not the same as what you said in your original
posting.

What *exact* versions of IMAP software were on the old system, and are on
the new system?

That won't preserve either ownership or timestamps. So unfortunately, all
the files in your new location are timestamped 2006-02-24, even if they
haven't been touched for years.

cp -pr is better, and probably sufficient. Using tar or cpio (piping one
into another) is better still, and can also be used to copy between machines
over ssh.
