dovecot - Feb 2012 - 2.1.rc5 Cannot delete folders from trash

Hi,

If I delete a folder "foo" in Thunderbird, it is moved to trash.

[root at dovecot1][tmp:exec](~) # ll

If I delete foo from trash, thunderbird removed it from view, 
but if I restart thunderbird, the folder is still in trash.

No error in dovecot log, no error in thunderbird.

with dovecot 1.2 and Maildir I can delete folders from trash.

Something wrong in my config? Thunderbird-Bug?

I tried going in via squirrelmail - saw no subfolders under trash.  Went 
back in with Thunderbird - all gone.
