On one server after running the conversion script something breaks in thunderbird.

Normally in thunderbird when a imap account is setup the deleted emails are moved to a deleted folder and are not actually deleted, since converting emails to maildir the emails simply vanish but remain there using space. It is fine if set to mark for deletion instead of moving but the user doesnt want to do this.

We have found out that if we create a new imap account on the server thnderbird works fine with this so the problem appears to be with email folders that have been converted from the old mail box.

Deleting and remaking the accounts is not an option as it would be a huge amount of manual work and the old emails need to be be kept and recovered.
