No, it's still reproducible, only the folder I was mostly interested in
now works, so it isn't as big a problem anymore.

>From my log it seems that thunderbird uses sequence numbers, not unique
IDs, to refer to messages in the UID FETCH command.  This is incorrect,
and may therefore lead to unexpected results.  I think this, because it
starts referring to messages before it got information about their IDs.

Perhaps mailutils-imap4d is unusual in that the sequence numbers are not
the same as the UIDs.  However, this is completely within the standard,
and should be supported by thunderbird (perhaps it is and something else
is wrong, but this is my diagnosis so far).

There are some problems with mailutils-imap4d as well, but I'm pretty
sure this one is thunderbird's fault.

Anyway, to reproduce:
- use a computer which doesn't run an imap server
- install mailutils-imap4d on it
- have at least one user, and have some directories and files in its home.
- set up an imap account in thunderbird with this server and user
- select subscribe
- see some folders not being openable, even though they do have
inferiors (files in it)
