This is working quite nicely, thanks. :-)

By the way, is there actually a way to set this via a preference panel? Just curious.

I'm using Thunderbird (latest) with Courier 0.44.0 (on Solaris 9) to access my email via IMAP/SSL. I know that there is a very limited built-in functionality for having the server notify clients of updates to folders and sub-folders... and that a kernel extension to support this does exist for Linux. But regardless of whether this is implemented as a server push or a client pull, my increasing number of folders to which mail automatically routes is causing this apparent inability to be quite annoying.

So, my question to the list is: Is there a way to get Thunderbird to periodically poll not just for new messages in Inbox, but all (or some specified list of) other (sub)folders?

As Thunderbird is a descendant of Mozilla Mail it should be easy. In the directory where Thunderbird stores it's configuration create a file called user.js and put the following line in it:

user_pref("mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new", true);

Ypu also have to set IMAP_CHECK_ALL_FOLDERS=1 in the config file of Courier-Imapd.

Cheers, Juri
