Probably happens because Thunderbird creates multiple connections to the mailbox. That itself shouldn't break it though, but maybe there are some openbsd-specific problems.
You could probably configure Thunderbird to use only one connection and it should fix it. Alternatively you could upgrade to latest 1.0-stable or 1.0-test release where this should never happen.
