unfortunatly this has no effect to me. I put this in 20-imap.conf and 
restarted dovecot - no changes.

I run TB 17.0.2 under Ubuntu 12.10 (both machines), but had this problem 
before with former versions and Ubuntu 12.04.

I don't know whether this was before as well, but subfolders don't show 
up as well - I have to search for mails i.e. in the sent-folder, 
afterwards it shows up. IMHO subfolders should be autosubcribed?

This is only true for my notebook. On the machine running the server, 
all subfolders are visible in TB. I have TB configured to move deleted 
mails to the trash folder - I guess that's default. There is a setting 
to expunge the inbox when leaving TB - this is unchecked. Could that be 
connected to the problem? But still, why are my read mails marked unseen 
when looking them up from my notebook?

Strange. Any further clues?

Cheers
Andre
