Check the subscriptions file in your maildir - remove any references to 
folders which are not present, or that you do not want to appear as 
default on your imap clients.

Further there might be some caching on your Thunderbird client, so if it 
doesn't help removing the entries from the subscription file - try to 
open thunderbird, right-click on the imap account, and choose the 
upper-most choice (in Norwegian it says "Meld inn", which probably 
originally/in English is "Subscribe" or something similar.) - Make sure 
to uncheck the checkboxes behind any folders which you do not want to 
subscribe to (I believe this might alter you subscribtions file also on 
the server, not sure though.) - Anyway, I've seen some glitches in some 
versions of Thunderbird where duplicate folders are shown on start up, 
and the there is a refresh and the duplicates are gone.

Hope this helps :)
