[Dovecot] Virtual inbox folder bug

[Tobias Daucher]

Got the same "problem" with thunderbird... thunderbird wants to be intelligent and caches 
information...
the server would remove the message, but thunderbird says "hey it was not me so i don't anything 
about moving" and reads the message from its cache...
close thunderbird, delete the imapmail folder in your profile, and restart thunderbird => mail is 
gone...
and if you find a way to turn off this fu***ing caching of thunderbird it would be nice to tell it 
to me...
caching sucks with imap and i don't find any option to turn it off...
bye
