30 seconds maybe (certainly not minutes). It may or may not be enough time to get strace involved; I'll try.

I'll try it again with that set (I have to figure out how to de-dupe the messages in my trash folder to put them back into my Inbox for testing)...
30 seconds sounds a bit little for Thunderbird to wait. Without hardlinks I think it's easily possible that copying 1500 messages is going to take time..
We have Maildir on a netapp filer and experience this with Thunderbird as well, 1.0rc15. It takes about a minute to trigger.
Now that I see this, is there really any compelling reason not to use maildir_copy_with_hardlinks? I think it is time to enable it!
