OK, there's one difference. It's not actually a dbox issue itself, but
it's a Maildir++ vs. filesystem layout difference. So the same issue
happens if you use e.g. mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir:LAYOUT=fs.

It's anyway more of a bug in Thunderbird, but if that workaround helps
then I guess there isn't really a problem. :)
