I have seen this happen when the user tries to mass delete thousands of 
emails using 'Move to Trash', then is impatient when it slows to a 
crawl, and they try to close Thunderbird and end up 'force quitting' it...

We had one user that ended up with 5 copies of thousands of messages 
from doing this repeatedly
