Actually I appear to have fixed this (typically, after several hours of 
scouring squirrelmail lists, the answer appears to be on the dovecot 
website...)

although I already thought I was using these settings, deleting config.php and 
rerunning perl 'conf.pl', settings as below, seems to have done the trick.
folder prefix: 'none' (literally)
leaving it blank is not an option. apparently the default is to have all your 
folders as subfolers of INBOX (which mine are not)
server software: 'other' 
(it would seem that dovecot doesn't need fancy workarounds)
