No, no, Courier was not perfect, far from it, with courier, subscription
and unsubscription was COMPLETELY unreliable. I'd unsubscribe from 20
folders and I close dialog and it unsubscribes me from only the first 10
plus subscribes me to random 5 other folders. Weird stuff like that.
Complete chaos.
In a sense, Dovecot is a huge step in the right direction, just not
quite there yet. The thing that bothers me is that even when I turn off
the show subscribed folders only option, sometimes I still don't see all
folders, cause some subsubsubfolder remains hidden until
thunder-effing-bird decides to show it.
Best regards,
Tamas
P.S. Just to be clear, I'm not blaming anything on Dovecot, just want to
see if I can find a workaround or something.

Now, the problem is that to a lesser extent, Thunderbird 2, and to a larger
extent Thunderbird 3 is having serious issues when I go (want to go) deeper
than two levels of nesting. Like, in the Subscribe dialog sometimes I see the
third level subfolders, sometimes I dont. If is subscribe to a second-level
folder, then create a subfolder in it, the other subfolders suddenly appear.
It's all very random, unfortunatelly, then only way I can use the system right
now is to uncheck 'Show subscribed folders only' in Account Settings, and even
then, sometimes folders disappear or reappear that are highly nested.
Some people have complained about this, but I thought this happened with all
servers. So you're saying that the same TB versions with Courier didn't have
this problem? .. Wonder what Courier could be doing differently here. I thought
Dovecot and Courier outputs would be the same.
I guess it's also possible that there's a bug in Dovecot that happens only
sometimes. Although I think I already once at least looked such IMAP traffic
log and it looked correct. You could anyway try grabbing one where TB produces
buggy behavior and I could take a look at it.
