Based on what you have, no.  Cone uses the same arrangement for maildir 
folders as Courier-IMAP.  It looks like you've simply created a bunch of 
different maildirs in ~/Mail.  Furthermore, Cone already configured ~/Mail 
as your mailbox location, and the configuration has been saved.

The Cone/Courier-IMAP maildir folder arrangement is that $HOME/Maildir is 
the primary INBOX; while various folders (themselves being maildirs) are set 
up as hidden subdirectories of $HOME/Maildir.

You will need to create your $HOME/Maildir, then move all your existing 
maildirs as hidden subdirectories of $HOME/Maildir.  You can then add 
$HOME/Maildir to Cone's configuration by selecting "NEW ACCOUNT" from Cone's 
main menu.
