Unsubscribed mailboxes are not shown in thunderbird, while subscriptions
being stored server side, not in your local thunderbird.

You can use this command to subscribe one or more mailboxes:
  doveadm mailbox subscribe [-A|-u user] [-S socket_path] mailbox ...

This should subscribe all mailboxes of a specific user (-A for all users):
  doveadm mailbox subscribe -u user at example.com "*"

You can set this configuration option to auto-subscribe new folders:
  lda_mailbox_autosubscribe = yes
