As you can see in this link: https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/shared_mailboxes/ ... symlinking is the "quick and dirty" hack to share mailboxes between users. What Thunderbird expects is what is descibed in the "Mailbox sharing between users" link on that page. This involdes namespaces and acls, and if this is enabled, Thunderbird will deal with it. I would expect Thunderbird to treat a symlinked folder just as a normal folder of the user it is linked to, but never tried that... I am not a really experienced dovecot user, but managed to get mailbox sharing with namespaces and acls working in an hour or so. At least without mail-crypt enabled (as you may have seen in the actual threads in this list, this is a bit more complex...).
