Yes - there are new settings in the config files for 3.0.x (the ones in 
/usr/local/etc/courier-imap/*-dist) that are necessary for it to work, in
particular MAILDIRPATH to tell it where to find your mailboxes...  You
need to merge the new config files into your existing ones (or just copy
them over if you don't have any local changes to the configuration).

This was mentioned in the CVS commit log when the port was upgraded to
3.0.0 - arguably it should have gone in a pkg-message file as well so more
people actually noticed it when doing the upgrade...

Of course it's always a good idea to check over the configuration files
for any port you upgrade - there are often changes it's useful to know
about even if they don't prevent the software from working.

I can also recommend a freshports.org account - the weekly email listing
all the changes to the ports on your machine is very useful.
