Hi Timo, i had setup virtual plugin related to the wiki
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Plugins/Virtual
which says

--------
# The default namespace that is visible to IMAP clients
namespace private {
  prefix =
  separator = /
  list = yes
  hidden = yes
}

# Virtual namespace for the virtual INBOX.
namespace private {
  prefix = virtual/
  separator = /
  location = virtual:~/Maildir/virtual
  list = no
  hidden = yes
}

# Copy of the default namespace. We'll use this in dovecot-virtual file.
namespace private {
  prefix = RealMails/
  separator = /
  list = no
  hidden = yes
}

user_query = SELECT ..., \
  CASE '%s' WHEN 'pop3' THEN NULL ELSE 'yes' END AS namespace_1_inbox, \
  CASE '%s' WHEN 'pop3' THEN 'yes' ELSE NULL END AS namespace_2_inbox \
  WHERE ...

--------

this leads not seeing subfolders of inbox
and not seeing shared namespace with imap

my setup is now

-----------------

namespace private {
  separator = /
  prefix = ""
  location =
maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:CONTROL=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:INDEX=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:INBOX=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/
  list = yes

hidden = no <<<<<this is what i have changed now

  subscriptions = yes
}

namespace private {
  prefix = "virtual/"
  separator = /
  location = virtual:/etc/dovecot/virtual:LAYOUT=maildir++
  hidden = yes
  list = no
  subscriptions= no
}

namespace private {
  prefix = "RealMails/"
  separator = /
  list = no
  hidden = yes
  location =
maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:CONTROL=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:INDEX=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/:INBOX=/usr/local/virtual/%d/%u/
}

namespace shared {
   separator = /
   prefix = "shared/%%d/%%u/"
   location = maildir:/usr/local/virtual/%d/%%u/:INDEX=~/shared/%%d/%%u/
   subscriptions = no
   list = children
   inbox = no
}

-----------

in a few tests now the setup with virtual plugin
works now like desired with Thunderbird
( havent tested aggressive all features yet i.e with other plugins
acl,autocreate ...)

i am not clear if the wiki should changed here, or exactly why it is
working now, perhaps it would be the best
to give the hidden = no parameter additionally
in i.e. mysql at non pop3 login, but i have no exact idea what syntax it
should be then

whats your meaning about all that stuff ?
