Good suggestion. Logging can be switched on like this:

So here is thunderbirds IMAP log, the bit where I try to move subfolder 
to the toplevel:

1004[27090d8]: 25c0178:server:S-folder;subfolder:ProcessCurrentURL: entering
1004[27090d8]: 
25c0178:server:S-folder;subfolder:ProcessCurrentURL:imap://loek@server:143/movefolderhierarchy%3E%5Efolder%3Bsubfolder%3E:  
= currentUrl
1004[27090d8]: 25c0178:server:S-folder;subfolder:SendData: 7 lsub "" 
"folder;subfolder;*"
1004[27090d8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25fdca0 nb=22 needmore=0]
1004[27090d8]: 
25c0178:server:S-folder;subfolder:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 7 OK Lsub 
completed.
1004[27090d8]: 25c0178:server:S-folder;subfolder:SendData: 8 close
1004[27090d8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25fdca0 nb=23 needmore=0]
1004[27090d8]: 
25c0178:server:S-folder;subfolder:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 8 OK Close 
completed.
1004[27090d8]: 25c0178:server:A:SendData: 9 rename "folder;subfolder" 
"folder;subfolder"
1004[27090d8]: ReadNextLine [stream=25fdca0 nb=22 needmore=0]
1004[27090d8]: 25c0178:server:A:CreateNewLineFromSocket: 9 NO Mailbox 
exists.

Apparently it tries to copy the folder to itself, causing the error from 
the server, although I drag the subfolder to the toplevel..
I've tried various settings for the namespace and server directory but 
nothing helped so far.

Any help is appreciated.
