I have recently noticed that a random number of emails are being stored in the "cur" folder under certain users and cannot be downloaded in Thunderbird. I have tried moving the emails from "cur" to "new" but everytime I try to download the email from Thunderbird, the emails go back to the "cur" folder. What could be causing this?

Perfectly normal, this is the way the Maildir format works.

What is the "cur" folder used for? I had thought that the "cur" folder was used for IMAP but all the users here are using POP.

No, the way the mail is stored and the way it is accessed are two different things.
