[Dovecot] thunderbird and subscriptions with sieve

[Kristen J. Webb]

Hi All,

Thanks for all the responses!  While I like the idea
of moving to dovecot 2.x for new features, it is
not part of the ubuntu packages, so I'm going to
wait.  In the end, I found deliver -s in postfix master.cf
did the trick.  Still the problem with thunderbird not seeing
the new folder until restart, but hey, mail client independence
is what I'm after anyway ;)
