It seems that messages are coming from a number of sources, such as

The problem is that many messages seem to get unlinked from their threads.
I use Thunderbird 3.0.5 and wonder whether the problem lies with the
merge process, the server or my reader.
While others have told you about using gmane or other sources
(direct email, etc), I haven't seen anything fly by regarding the
"unlinked from their threads" portion of your question.
Thunderbird 2.0 -> 3.0 changed the default value for
mail.strict_threading from False to True. Pulling up the config
editor (essentially the about:config, buried in the
options->advanced stuff, I think; or perhaps I have the
"about:config" plugin to do that) allows you to toggle this value
back to "True". This setting controls whether threads are
defined *only* by the mail header (strict=True), or whether TB
also tries to guess based on the Subject header (strict=False).
Toggle it (and perhaps restart TB?) and see if that helps rectify
the threading. There are a lot of folks here on c.l.p that use
broken newsreaders that don't correctly set news/threading headers.
