Some IMAP-Server like the uwimap have folders that can only have
subfolders but no mails. Migrating such folders may result in
creating the subfolders without creating the folder.

Set allowallsubscribe: 1

   allowallsubscribe: 0
       Allow  subscription to nonexistent mailboxes.  This option is typically
       used on backend servers in a Murder so  that  users  can  subscribe  to
       mailboxes  that  don't  reside on their "home" server.  This option can
       also be used as a workaround for IMAP clients  which  don't  play  well
       with nonexistent or unselectable mailboxes (eg.  Microsoft Outlook).


or you can create the missing folders
