Maildir sub folders and folder separators are implemented
differently by dovecot, cyrus, postfix, etc. Some experimenting
and tuning the config is expected before all folders show up
in your imap client.
Check:
1. root folder of your imap store as seen by dovecot.
some imap daemons store sub folders in ~/Maildir/, others like
to put sub folders in ~/Maildir/INBOX/. If it's the later, your
mail client may find all folders as sub folders inside the main
inbox folder.
2. Ensure folder separator is configured as "." without this,
imap daemon will not recognize additional maildir folders
correctly.
Testing with Thuderbird before moving to webmail is recommended.
You may also want to post what webmail you are using and how the
folders part of your configuration is done.
