(Get the code!)
I had Thunderbird 2.0.0.17 running (and checking mail every 10min automatically) while I ran out of disk space because of a DVB recording (why doesn't kaffeine stop before eating the last 50MB or so?).
My mailbox seems fine, but when I check for mail now, Thunderbird wants to download 11.000 messages or so. Messages that already are in the inbox but Thunderbird doesn't seem to understand that. I could obviously download those 11.000 messages and delete them again, but it doesn't seem right. Rebuilding the index didn't help.
Proposed solution: let Thunderbird check if there is enough disk space before collecting mail. If there's less than 200MiB (I'm just picking a number) available, do not collect mail from the server. This way you can never get into this corrupted state in the first place..
