If you have a large imap account with many folders and you use
serverside filtering to move messages automatically in the right folder
then it is somewhat irritating if you don't have an option that does:
"Check for mail in all folders" (Or i didn't search that good but i
couldn't find it)

Another nice feature for mozilla-thunderbird would be:
If you mark a message as deleted that there is an option in the view
menu or something that you can hide those deleted messages.

At http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/tips (Check all IMAP
folders for new mail), there is a workaround for this:

In your user.js file (Create one if it doesn't exist for your profile,
see http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/edit), add the following:

// Download mail from all accounts on startup
user_pref("mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new", true);
deleted messages are not marked as such, but moved to a Trash folder.

PS: Alex, license permitting, do you think it would be a good idea to
pack the tips page as a doc in for /usr/share/doc/mozilla-thunderbird?

In general a good idea. Nevertheless, I expect the next thunderbird release to
include an online help system like firefox. Maybe those contents will be
included anyway! So, let's wait.
