[Dovecot] Thunderbird subscription bug ?

[Adam McDougall]

After a quick read, this sounds similar to thunderbird symptoms I've 
noticed with dovecot but I think it only started with *some* folder 
trees that were named after 2010 or 10 (abbreviation).  It would either 
show the 2010 or 10 folder and possibly not let me subscribe to it, and 
if it had children it probably would not even show those for 
subscription unless I was already subscribed to it using a different 
client.  I haven't put in time to track it down yet.
