Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once): apport-collect 601897 and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: thunderbird I'm using thunderbird 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 on an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x86_64 machine as feed reader. For some feeds I would like to use the retention policy "Delete all but the most recent xx messages". Setting xx to let's say ten, causes thunderbird to delete all but ten messages in a feed folder. But the remaining messages are not the most recent ones but some in the middle of the time line. Get the same behavior for icedove 3.0.5 on debian unstable.
