Well, I created a test user to check what kind of permissions Dovecot
gives (after reading the docs I was kinda confused a bit). Except for
the INBOX folder (which had some group/other read flags) everything was
the same. I've corrected that. Folders created with Thunderbird (24.5)
now show up, but I have to restart it. Well, I can live with that.
On the other hand, the logs don't show anything unusual, no immediate
warnings or errors about permissions.
I'm still confused about it. I remember vaguely that it worked with the
previous major version of Dovecot before upgrading to Wheezy...
