When Thunderbird copies mails from the same mail account into the folder, it seems like it tries to select the mail box afterwards, then a "Internal error occured. Refer to server log for more information." because of permission denied.

With v1.1 it might not do this because UIDPLUS is supported.

Well, is there a possiblity to setup a Write-Only mailbox, with Dovecot v1.0.3 with the ACL plugin? Is there a working setup for write-only mailboxes with the ACL plugin?

With it you can replace "Internal error" with "Permission denied".

One possibility would be to change the maildir syncing code to ignore permission denied errors and show such mailboxes as empty read-only mailboxes.
