That's right, but there is one important difference: Cyrus sorts those folders alphabetically, Dovecot doesn't. Dovecot guys say it's the client's job and that's also what the RFC says. So if you have many subfolders, e.g. one per order it can be a bit confusing. Thunderbird is sorting those folders, but not always. It seems to depend on when you refreshed the list last time and if it was cached.
