No, that should be it.

Ah, that was probably uw-imap which appears to be pretty much dead:

Unfortunately, it doesn't.

No, I meant to say that I agree that it is unrelated but probably
doesn't hurt.
For further analysis, you can follow Dovecot's instructions. They even
have a separate page for TB:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Thunderbird
You can also try to upgrade to the backport[1] of Dovecot 2.1. Beware
that this upgrade involves the migration to conf.d-style configuration
files. But as I understand, you didn't have to tweak many things in the
original dovecot.conf anyway.
If this still doesn't help you might want to either ask the TB devs or
on the Dovecot mailing list. The latter is probably more promising, but
I am not sure whether version 1.2 is still supported in some way.
