[...] When trying to move large numbers of messages to Trash using Thunderbird 1.5.0.9, I would get "Lost connection with server" messages at anything over about 1500 messages. The strange thing is that when I checked the trash folder, the deleted messages were there multiple times, i.e. everytime I attempted to move all messages to Trash, plus everytime it
failed until I got below the magic number. [...]
I think this is a Thunderbird problem rather than a Dovecot one. I had the same thing happening recently when I moved last year's logfiles to my archive folder (36000+ messages).
I had this on 1.0rc10, and moved to 1.0rc15 and it went away (or pushed the limits over the number of messages I wanted to delete) and I was also using Thunderbird 1.5.0.x. I'll report if it happens to me again.
