dovecot

In the past I was able to drag and drop my folder with subfolders (local emails) into my imap accounts inside Thunderbird. Now I moved to my own vps and its running Dovecot. So far so good with emails. Today I wanted to copy some folders with messages again but I realized that it does not let me copy to folders. I can drag and drop individual emails into some folders in Imap however folders stuff does not work.

I am not sure what this feature is called. The previous email servers might be using some other imap server so I am really not sure what it might be even called.

Is this a Dovecot or Thundenbird thing? If it is a Dovecot feature how I enable it on my server?

Dovecot is running on Debian Wheezy 64 bit vps

thanks
