[Dovecot] Dovecot 2.0.13 and removing IMAP folders in thunderbird

I have a new strange problem and maybe it has to do with the same
original problem: After adding the "workaround" feature to imap, this
happens:

- In thunderbird I delete a folder
- Closing TB
- Starting TB again
- TB tells me that it can not find the folder a/b/example anymore

The latter is interesting, as I had deleted it with TB once before.

Even if I drag the folder directly to the trash and verify that it
really is in there, the steps are the same as described in my short list
above.

Thanks in advance
Christian
