I use a local imap server now, and cant find my old Maildir settings but: Did you subscribe to your new groups? In your *Group* buffer hit "^" then select your backend with "enter" and then subscribe to groups using "u". If thats the solution then look into using topics too in order to logically group your mail groups. Why is your directory "~/Mail" above? You said your Maildir was ~/.Maildir. And I'm not sure mail-sources is appropriate. Someone else can clarify that hopefully.
