I use thunderbird and dovecot, along with Outlook. Thunderbird shows the 
user's quota correctly, shows all subscriptions correctly, and I have no 
problems elsewhere in the client-server relationship.  I am using 
thunderbird 3.1,dovecot 1.2.13, sieve 1.0.17, and managesieve 0.11.11 
and like it! I did have a problem or two with the 3.0 version of 
thunderbird!
