These are some differences that need to be dealt with:

Folder Path
Uw-imap can be operated in normal or blackbox mode. In normal mode the 
folder path, as provided on the client side, is usually '~/mail' or 
similar, in blackbox mode it is '' (empty).
Courier-imap use 'INBOX.' as path to the personal folders.

Folder Hierarchy
Uw-imap hierarchy have the same semantics as a unix file system. There's 
directories and there's files (mailboxes). Directories cannot contain 
messages, only folders/mailboxes can.
In Courier-imap all folders can contain messages as well as folders.

Hierarchy Delimiter
Uw-imap use '/' (front slash) as delimiter, courier-imap use '.' (dot).

All these can and do affect the clients in one way or another.

I advice you to test all client software that is known to be used among 
your users. Document in detail the changes needed on the client side and 
make instructions available to the users, preferably on a webserver that 
can be referred to when you announce the upgrade.

Good luck.
