Hi! Just updated to 1.0 rc15, but the problem remains. I think it could be client-dependent to some extent.
I have only IMAPS access and Maildir. I have one mailbox which contains some 10,200 mails. That mailbox takes forever (have waited 30 minutes and then aborted) to open with Thunderbird 1.5.0.7. Other mailboxes (like dovecot :-), only 6984 mails) opens quickly.
When Thunderbird tries to open this folder, the imap process on the server uses roughly all cpu resources. There isn't much disk I/O, at least as far as I can tell by listening at the server.
The dovecot is upgraded from 0.99.something. Should I remove index files first, and in that case which? Is there something cached in Thunderbird?
Here's the directory listing for the troublesome folder:
