I couldn't agree more.  It's not my decision what they use unfortunately 
otherwise I would probably spread Thunderbird amongst them.

And there was the clue.  What had happened was the .subscriptions file 
(which seems to lists all subfolders of INBOX) as opposed to the 
subscriptions file, didn't have any folders listed.  Actually it had one... 
Junk.  I just opened Outlook, and subscribed to the folder that it listed 
and hey presto, they all appeared again!

I don't know whether it was User/Outlook/Dovecot/Fedora that was at fault, 
but thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
