it seems to be a bug in Thunderbird and SeaMonkey:

Now confirmed. David Bienvenu replicated the problem with Thunderbird
(involving connecting to my server running Dovecot 2.0.1), analysed it
and found a problem with Thunderbird. They are now scratching their
heads over how to fix it :-)
So I think Dovecot is working correctly here.
To tide people over until the bug is fixed, a couple of workarounds have
surfaced:
1. You can configure Thunderbird to show all folders rather than just
subcribed ones. In Server Settings / Advanced, untick the box "Show only
subscribed folders". This then exposes the third-level folders.
2. Make the folder(s) in question be listed in the server's subscribed
folders list by some other means. For example using another e-mail
client, or just adding the folder name(s) to the "subscriptions" file on
the server.
