What IMAP server? We have been using Thunderbird for about 8 years on 60+ computers since about version 0.8, and have *never* had a *recurring* problem like that. Of course there have been the occasional time I had to delete the folders and let TBird redownload everything and rebuild the indexes, but never, ever has there been a recurring problem... Methinks there is something else going on, it is not thunderbird per se (yes, I understand you are only seeing this when using TBird). I can't wait for TBird 3 for all of the IMAP improvements...
