I did quite a bit more searching, and though I found nothing specifically linking GLODA to my issues, I disabled it, along with some likely minor other things. For some reason it was enabled by default on my system even though the mozilla docs say it comes disabled by default.
Not sure where you read that, but as far as I know, it has always been enabled by default. In fact there are a couple of bugs about this that I've been very vocal on complaining about this dumb decision of theirs.
Enabling GLODA, forcing all IMAP folders to offline mode (I have 16+ IMAP accounts, and I was *furious* when I learned they stomped on all of my settings like that) *and* enabling Sync all messages for *all* IMAP accounts by default were extraordinarily arrogant and dumb decisions, in my opinion (and I had no qualms with telling them so).
As far as I know, they have not changed this in any of the 3.0.x builds, and said as much in the open bugs...
According to this page found via Google it's disabled by default: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Using_Gloda
The page last update is listed as 7 March 2009. I'm not sure which version was current at that time. But obviously it was disabled by default at one point. That may have changed. I didn't see it in the 3.0.4 release notes. I may have manually enabled it long ago, not realizing the possible repercussions, and then forgot I enabled it. Like I said, I don't think I did, but it's possible.
