Hi Jerry, i had the same problem with Thunderbird (and some others like sometimes not opening mail with attachment). This class of problems happens with e.g. dovecot imap server too, and its a pure Thunderbird problem. Since i switch to Linux using evolution i never had such problems. The difference seems to be the amount of buffered/locally stored information.
