[Dovecot] dovecot.index only gets updated in Root maildir Folder

version 1.0.rc15
(Newest Version available in Debian 4.0, newer version in testing tree requires 
new version libc...)

I got a procmail rule that moves mail from some senders to another folder, e.g. 
.archive.facebook/ . This works fine, the message appear in 
.archive.facebook/new if i "ls" that directory by shell. But dovecot.index files 
don't get updated, hence IDLE doesn't tell the client new mail arrived. this 
only happens if i click on the folder in thunderbird. like this, not even 
clicking on Thunderbird "Check mail" button shows me new Mail arrived.

Is this a common error in this version? would there any benefit if i self 
compiled a newer version regarding this issue?

Thanx
