Single Solaris 9 box here, without NFS and I'm seeing it. Users having 
problems with it on my linux dovecat farm as well, so it can't be NFS 
related.

This seems to have started since TB 3.0 came out. Especially, with the 
new indexing feature they added. I'm not seeing it with Pine or SQMail 
accessing the same servers. The problem is all my users are convinced 
it's my mail servers. ;) However, it does seem to only happen with my 
dovecot backends. I haven't seen this with my non-dovecot accounts.

Is it possible the TB 3.0 has some issues with dovecot specifically that 
we're not aware of?

Has anyone seen any Thunderbird mail out there related to this? Google 
hasn't been helpful yet.
