Folders are mailboxes too. Did you created them within kolab before
moving 
data? You need to create them in cyrus and give user access to them in
the
same manner as you do with main user mailbox ( using cyradm's syntax:
cm, sam ).

Additionally you must remember about subscriptions. User can have many
mailboxes, but he doesn't need/want to have an insight into all of them
all the time. Move subscriptions to the new system if the format is same
( check /var/imap/user/ tree for user's .sub files ) or reconstruct
them.

MUAs give users option to see all of user' folders and manipulate 
subscriptions.
