I had to set mail_location in dovecot.conf.  I am now able to see my 
inbox messages, but the folders didn't appear.  In dovecot, folders 
create matching subdirectories in the user's mail directory, but IIRC, 
UoW doesn't.  So, at the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to get the 
UoW subfolders into Dovecot.  I still have the original hard drive, with 
my 11.0 installation, handy.  So, it is possible to swap drives and 
access the old mail system & sub-folders.
