I've tried that and it still is not working. I haven't watched the IMAP 
"conversation" between Thunderbird and Dovecot (I'll see if I can do it 
later). I've opened a message directly from the Inbox, asked TB to do a 
"compact" on the folders (which I believe issues an "EXPUNGE" command to 
the imap server) and the mails are still there, marked as read, but 
still showing up on the "virtual" inbox.

Strangely enough, if I access the virtual folder directly the messages 
do not show up there. Maybe it's thunderbird's fault? Can somebody else 
try to reproduce this and see what' happens? Maybe with a different mail 
client.
