With dovecot_1.0 the subscriptions get properly read, but as soon as the user wants to make any changes to them (for example subscribing to a new folder out of thunderbird), the subscriptions get lost, the file <usershome>/Mail/.subscriptions simply disappears.
Did I miss any point in the configuration? Or does someone else encounter the same problem?
I'm fairly sure that .subscriptions isn't used anymore after the 0.9 series. The file is just subscriptions, without a dot (as dot files are treated as folders IIRC). Not sure if you need to remove the old file, or if you can just move .subscriptions to subscriptions.
Try searching the list archives, I'm sure it's come up before

Quotation from http://wiki.dovecot.org/UpgradingDovecot ... Subscriptions Maildir only: The filename that stores user subscriptions has changed from .subscriptions to subscriptions. (It is still called .subscriptions for mbox.) Just rename it: mv .subscriptions subscriptions ...
So, in Alain's case something could be wrong as he is using mbox format and in this case subscription file should be ".subscriptions". I do not use Solaris nor mbox format so I cannot help too much here.
