but i think I have an idea whats going on.

the default value of "altnamespace" has changed

quoting man imapd.conf
  altnamespace: 1
             Use  the alternate IMAP namespace, where personal folders reside
             at the same level in the hierarchy as INBOX.

             This option ONLY applies where interaction takes place with  the              client/user.   Currently  this  is  limited to the IMAP protocol              (imapd) and Sieve scripts (lmtpd).  This option does  NOT  apply              to admin tools such as cyradm (admins ONLY), reconstruct, quota,              etc., NOR does it affect LMTP delivery of messages directly  to              mailboxes  via plus-addressing.  The default changed in 3.0 from
             off to on.

this in combination that you are an admin might have confused thunderbird

That's weird, I would have swear that I was using altnamespace, but looking at my config file I somehow didn't.

Setting it now to 1, and removing my user from admins and imap_admins did the trick, except the folders were on the top level (as altnamespace:1 would do).

Set altnamespace back to 0 and it was working. I see all my emails and folders. Even the seen state is preserved.


the default value for altnamespace was 0 in 2.5 and change to 1 in 3.0, so setting it to 0 in your config restores the old setting.

Then I tried adding myself back to admins: no good again.

But adding myself to imap_admins does seem to work.

In imapd.conf you can set options to different values for specific services defined in cyrus.conf
if you prepend the option with SERVICENAME_
So imap_admins sets the option "admin" only for the service imap



Except now I don't see the special folders, like DELETED, other user folders, etc. But it's not too bad I guess.


normal users don't see the DELETED folders and only shared folders and other users folders
if they have permission via ACLs


Thanks a lot for your help!

Do I need to do anything else? Maybe another reconstruct or something?


You need to run "reconstruct -V max"
