it seems to be a bug in Thunderbird and SeaMonkey: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=592633
Now confirmed. David Bienvenu replicated the problem with Thunderbird (involving connecting to my server running Dovecot 2.0.1), analysed it and found a problem with Thunderbird. They are now scratching their heads over how to fix it :-)
So I think Dovecot is working correctly here.
To tide people over until the bug is fixed, a couple of workarounds have surfaced:
You can configure Thunderbird to show all folders rather than just subcribed ones. In Server Settings / Advanced, untick the box "Show only subscribed folders". This then exposes the third-level folders.
Make the folder(s) in question be listed in the server's subscribed folders list by some other means. For example using another e-mail client, or just adding the folder name(s) to the "subscriptions" file on the server.
