dovecot - Sep 2008 - Thunderbird, subscriptions, and upgrade to 1.1.3

Hi,

I've upgraded from 1.0.7 to 1.1.3. When I did this, my Thunderbird lost 
its brain and did not show some subscribed folders. squirrelmail also 
seemed to have issues. Applemail and mutt were fine. The configuration 
output is below.

Hopefully this is just me and just random bizarreness. There wasn't a 
problem in 1.0.7 but I could have been caught in mid-upgrade.

Thunderbird did not seem to update the subscription file (or at least I 
could not find the one it thought it was using).

Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is the problem client-specific or user-specific? Rawlog might show
something about what responses are wrong:

v1.1 has this new subscriptions-setting, but it shouldn't have changed
how the subscriptions file was read, especially if you have only one
namespace..

I copied a (tested) development config, made the appropriate changes, 
and it's now working again. I think there was a typo or stray character 
in the specification of the CONTROL directive as a result of a cut/paste.

Thanks for the tip on rawlog - it is very nice and will help in the 
future with confused clients/users.
