[Dovecot] Thunderbird doesn't popup on new mail - SOLVED

[Adrian Stoica]

It seems that deleting all files from Maildir with name begining with 
dovecot , will fix this issue.
Ex :
rm ~/Maildir/dovecot*

Those files will be recreated by dovecot (dovecot-keywords , 
dovecot-uidlist  ,dovecot.index , etc )and from now on , the thunderbird 
will notify about every new mail.

No, but the main visible difference to clients is the IMAP CAPABILITY
string that is sent before login. Although v2.0.9 already has IDLE in
there as well, so I don't really know. You could anyway try setting
explicitly:

imap_capability = IMAP4rev1 LITERAL+ SASL-IR LOGIN-REFERRALS ID ENABLE 
IDLE SORT SORT=DISPLAY THREAD=REFERENCES THREAD=REFS MULTIAPPEND 
UNSELECT CHILDREN NAMESPACE UIDPLUS LIST-EXTENDED I18NLEVEL=1 CONDSTORE 
QRESYNC ESEARCH ESORT SEARCHRES WITHIN CONTEXT=SEARCH LIST-STATUS QUOTA ACL
