That's your main problem. If you used an existing account and just
switched the server to Dovecot, it's possible that Thunderbird just
cached the old separator and tried to use it. Alternatively it's a bug
in Thunderbird.

In either case, you can fix this by just changing Dovecot's separator to
'/' using namespaces, see http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces
