Is mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new set in your Thunderbird 
configuration?  It's an advanced setting
Tools->Options->Advanced->General->Config Editor

If that value is not True Thunderbird only checks the currently selected 
folder and the inbox for new messages.

A similar issue was brought up in the recent thread titled "Imap 
notifications in IDLE"
