Thanks very much for the reply Curtis. I did some investigation guided by your points. I read mail-storage.txt and edited the dovecot.conf to include this line:

default_mail_env = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u

Hope you converted your old mail over, too :)

This seems to have fixed it. Evolution continues the same, but Thunderbird now receives the new messages.

I'm using dovecot-0.99.10.5-0.FC2

Wow.. that's a bit old. There are quite a number of improvements since then. I believe, from reading other posts, that there are newer packages available for Fedora Core... try searching the list archives. Definitely worth updating, imho.
