Thanks for your answer. I tried it again and i cant exactly say it is a 
mua problem. The steps i do are:

- start thunderbird and connect to dovecot
- "open" the folder where the spam message is in
- move the message via "cp" command on the server from on folder to the 
imap trash folder
- do a "refresh" or something else on the mua (no change, the message is 
still in the old folder, but the message will also be seen in trash)
- close the mua and start it again
- select the folder an the message is still there
- if i select the mail itself in the old folder it cant be displayed 
(but i also get no error

I enabled mail debug within dovecot's config, but i doesnt get any 
additional information. I also test the same steps using pegasus mail, 
pegasus mail has an "refresh folder" command, but i get the same problem.
I also tried to restart dovecot and reconnect with both mua's, but the 
message seems to be still there, but there is no real file anymore on 
the server in the maildir folder!
