No that I know... I was just asking the why of your setup :-)
I can see the use of Movemail accounts when no imap/pop3 server is
running locally (i.e., using fetchmail to drop remote e-mails under your
local mailbox) but having your own server, I see no good reason to keep
that setup, unless you explicitely need it for some special feature, so I
asked.

Yep, that was what I thought by reading your last e-mails ;-)
Question is... are you going to keep the old method for storing e-mails?
If yes, you'll need to put the auto-checking feature working. If not,
just let it be... anyway, it should be fixed in upcoming Thunderbird
releases.
