I can't help you with your performance problem, but for Thunderbird to check all folders, you need to set "mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new" to 'true' in the Thunderbird config editor.

I think the setting is: mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new;true

Both settings exist, but you are right, my setting is deprecated:

From http://kb.mozillazine.org/Checking_for_new_messages_in_other_folders_%28Thun...:

 Thunderbird used to support setting mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new to true to make it check every remote folder for new mail. The downside was there is no way to exclude a specific folder (such as a junk mail folder). However, that setting was replaced in version 5.0 with server-specific ones. Set mail.server.default.check_all_folders_for_new to true instead to make it effective for all accounts using the Config Editor.
