Please don't top-post...

Yes, dovecot's 'virtual mailboxes' is essentially the same thing 
conceptually as Thunderbird's 'Virtual Folders', but dovecot does it 
server-side (and all clients automatically see the virtual mailboxes as 
if they were real folders).

Thunderbird does it client side, so it is *much* less efficient, and it 
is local only to that instance of Thunderbird (so, no other clients see 
those virtual folders).

Hmmm... I could have sworn I opened a bug about this way back when 
dovecot added support for this, but I guess I didn't...

So, I just did... feel free to go vote for it:
