Using courier, no.  I'm looking at the code for the folder rename, and
it looks like code specific to Cyrus was added to rename all sub
folders.  This suggests that at some point in time, we had to manually
rename sub folders for Cyrus.

Testing my other IMAP server, which is Cyrus, I am unable to duplicate
this issue either.  This suggests a possible difference in either

  a) the way Cyrus is configured,
  b) the way SM is configured.

While I know you are not able to upgrade your version of SM at the
moment, but is there a possibility of deploying the latest version
alongside your current version?
