*SNIP*
You have specified 'maildir_format' then used '~/Mail/.Junk
You might be better served with ~/Maildir/.Junk
We are, anyway: ~/Maildir/.Suspect

Some of our configure files have little or no change from 4.43 thru to 4.6X.
Newer is better, has more features, but the difference is evolutionary - nothing
like as dramatic as 3.X to 4.X. Changes may not affect you.
Your first source is simply the archives on this list, speciifally around the
time 4.43 thru 4.53 were 'current, and all advice and examples are directly
applicable.
Second would be to review the 'CHANGELOG's and make yourself a 'cheat sheet' of
what has changed that might affect YOUR install. Most changes probably will not.
HTH,
