Courier IMAP uses the Maildir format so it can support both files and
subfolders in the same folder, unlike say, UW-IMAP.  Everything works as
it should from within IMP (http://horde.org/imp/).  It's Mozilla that
seems to have problems.

The problem is with any level of folders.  Messages don't always show up
in Mozilla mail.
