Both settings exist, but you are right, my setting is deprecated:

From
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Checking_for_new_messages_in_other_folders_%28Thunderbird%29#IMAP:
>      Thunderbird used to support setting mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new to true to make it check every remote folder for new mail. The downside was there is no way to exclude a specific folder (such as a junk mail folder). However, that setting was replaced in version 5.0 with server-specific ones. Set mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new to true instead to make it effective for all accounts using the Config Editor.
