If you just copied the vfolders.xml file across by hand, it wont work.  The folder uri's changed a bit, and if you had to recreate your imap account manually they wont match.

One of two solutions.  First, try to get importing to work, search the archives of this list for information, it comes up a lot.  For whatever reason it didn't recognise the previous install.  This should fix everything if it works - and is probably the first thing to try.

If that wont work, just edit one (or all if you don't have many) of your vfolders and fix up the 'source folders' list to point to the right folders.  Then you can either do that for all of them, or use a script to fix up the uri's listed in the vfolders.xml file (i.e. look into it and see how the fixed source folder is different, it should start with email: rather than imap:, etc.).
