Forwarded to devs Courier to Dovecot migration does not keep subscribed folders

TITLE:
Courier to Dovecot migration does not keep subscibed folders
PRODUCT, VERSION, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE:
Plesk 17.5.3, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
When I migrate a domain from a Plesk server with Courier to a domain with Dovecot it does NOT keep the subscribed folders.

This is necessary for a transparent migration.

A client connected to the new mailserver will see all its mail disappear before its eyes. This can easily be solved later, but not the damage to his heart....​
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
migrate a domain from a Courier Plesk server to a Dovecot Plesk server​
ACTUAL RESULT:
All subscribed folders are gone​
EXPECTED RESULT:
Subscribed folders should be the same as on the source server​
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
This is quite easy to implement during migration.
Dovecot keeps this information in the file 'subscriptions'
Courier keeps it in the file 'courierimapsubscribed'

sed '/^INBOX$/d;s/^INBOX//g' courierimapsubscribed >subscriptions
YOUR EXPECTATIONS FROM PLESK SERVICE TEAM:
Confirm bug
 
It's the "subscription flags" that are gone.
Not the mail folders.

It's a simple text file that just needs to be filled
 
Sorry for my misunderstanding and answering here instead of the pm. I hope to see it resolved soon...
