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!
