Hello,

I've installed courier-imap (on solarisx86, using the blastwave
distribution) 2 weeks ago and I access it through thunderbird. I have
often several thunderbirds open on the same account and several accounts
on the same folder (in order, for instance to have the right source mail
address when I post to lists such as this one;-), but afaik courier-imap
supports this (fam is running)

But was Courier compiled with FAM support?

A few days ago I added in the Maildir a set of folders converted from
old mh folders with a script called "convMH2Maildir.

In order to view them in thunderbird, I had to edit by hand the file
courierimapsubscribed and since that time there are apparently some
mails that I cannot open in thunderbird, in particular when I move a
mail to another mailbox, I sometimes cannot open the next mail.

That has nothing to do with the courierimapsubscribed file.

Is there a way to tell courier-imap to resynchronise itself with the
folders ?

There's nothing to resynchronize. You have configured Thunderbird to show only subscribed folders. Turn that option off in Thunderbird's configuration, and all folders will always be visible.

Really, you should stop wasting your time screwing around with the server until you've learned your IMAP client's configuration and capabilities.

Another question: If I set IMAP-TLS_REQUIRED=1 in
.../etc/courier-imap/imapd-ssl, thunderbird cannot log in even though it
is configured to always use TLS and even if I set the port tp 993
instead of 143 ? is this a thunderbird bug , A courier-imap one or did I
forget to do something?

This setting requires an IMAP client to negotiate TLS on port 143. Despite this being a part of the protocol for god knows how many years, Thunderbird does not support it. It only implement IMAP over SSL on port 993, and you have to explicitly start Courier on port 993 using the "imapd-ssl start" command.
