[Dovecot] IMAP Label Updates not showing up across shared account

[Ricardo Branco]

Yes we have several people connecting to the same mail box on the same server (we only have one dovecot server)

We have tried as you suggested and any change is reported from session to session immediately, I guess there is a 
problem in Thunderbird on updating these in the list. Its as if its waiting for so many FETCH commands or some sort of 
time limit before it updates as sometimes its slow other times its instant.

Ile log a ticket with Mozilla.
