I just updated one of cpanel servers to the latest stable version.
cPanel 11.25.0-S44718 , and found that now it doesn't convert inbox(mbx) to maildir/dovecot anymore....
everything else get's copied over fine though...

did anyone else encounter this problem?

We've found the same thing as well - the inbox gets converted but additional imap folders are not being converted. Whilst the migration services are a great facility, we're not upsetting existing customers and are currently instead moving existing accounts on request, therefore a solution to this issue with the built in migration tool would be appreciated.

We're actually running release, although this needs to be something that we can fix for the accounts that have already been migrated over and have not had their malboxes converted correctly. I'll get a ticket opened and post the solution (hopefully) when we get it :)

The issue is that Ensim creates IMAP folders as mbx format, not mbox and so they are not converted as mbx is not supported by the migration utils. This measn that a manual conversion is required, although everything I've tried so far hasn't worked :(
