I'm getting tired of Thunderbird telling me I have unread messages in folders that haven't gotten new messages for months so I'm looking for a new mail client. I know the problem lies with Thunderbird because everything is fine via RoundCube and if it tell Thunderbird to rebuild it's index it shows the folder correctly again. Except of course for a subset of the messages in my inbox that it insists where delivered at the exact time I re-indexed it, every time.
I'm currently testing out the Thunderbird 3.0 release candidates... overall, it's better then TB 2 was at IMAP. Overall, I'm pretty happy with version 3 and how it deals with my multi-gigabyte IMAP mailboxes with dozens of folders. Stability seems to be better then it was in TB v2 in terms of indexing and downloading messages.
(That comes with a huge caveat, however. Beta 4 introduced some rather severe bugs in IMAP performance which have yet to be fixed as of RC1 build #2. I'm hoping that this coming week there will be another more stable build.)
