Courier imap (maybe procmail too?) newbie question



I killed fetchmail and tried
to kill uw-imap then:
I did an apt-get mb2md
and converted /var/mail/USER to 
~/Maildir and also
converted the directory formerly used
by uw-imap.

Then apt-get courier-imap
and a reboot.
Now I see only my Inbox folders
(Inbox is the parent of all subfolders
now.)  I cannnot go and see most
of the subfolders any more, but can 
see a fee subfolders.
This has me stuck.
I looked in google and
http://www.inter7.com/courierimap.html
but haven't found a suggestion yet.

Also new email is stuck at /var/mail
and suppose I should install procmail
to move it to ~/Maildir. 
I already have smail (kind of like sendmail)
which sends out mail.  Hopefully, smail and
procmail will work together and this is
a good, recommend combination:
fetchmail (grabs email from ISP)
procmail (moves from /var/mail/user to ~/Maildir)
smail (sends out email to ISPs smtp port)
courier-imap

Thanks for suggestions.
