thunderbird just crashed, and I've never seen this before. Any idea what happened? this was in the dovecot log:

From: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# Maximum number of IMAP connections allowed for a user from each IP address. # NOTE: The username is compared case-sensitively. #mail_max_userip_connections = 10
By default Thunderbird opens 5 IMAP connections per client instance. When running TBird on the same machine that runs Dovecot, and connecting via localhost, I'm not sure what TBird may do in this case. It may ignore it's default setting of 5 and open as many connections as it wants.
In your case, you can probably safely set this to 100 (and restart Dovecot) to prevent this problem in the future.

I am the only one running thunderbird. .I normally let thunderbird stay open forever.. there are only 2 of us logged into this box, me & my wife. She runs kmail, with an IMAP account.

also in my dovecot log I'm getting this: 2010-11-08 12:45:52 deliver(pbc): Fatal: postmaster_address setting not given
and I KNOW I set this before... and I have this in dovecot.conf: postmaster_address=pbc@localhost

That's most likely your problem. Simply put - and regardless of what *should* be the case - Thunderbird is *not* stable enough to leave running 'forever'. In fact, it gets really unstable for me after a day or two. I recommend restarting it at least once per day.

well, as you can see, my uptime is way larger than thunderbirds uptime:) $ uptime 15:54:03 up 24 days, 4:28, 4 users, load average: 2.34, 1.72, 1.30 pbc@paulandcilla:~$ ps -ef|grep thunderbird pbc 13142 1 0 Dec02 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /home/pbc/Documents/software/thunderbird-3.1.6/thunderbird/thunderbird pbc 13145 13142 0 Dec02 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /home/pbc/Documents/software/thunderbird-3.1.6/thunderbird/run-mozilla.sh /home/pbc/Documents/software/thunderbird-3.1.6/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin pbc 13149 13145 1 Dec02 ? 00:16:53 /home/pbc/Documents/software/thunderbird-3.1.6/thunderbird/thunderbird-bin

That must be a valid email address, which is currently is not, and you need to read any replies sent to that address. This exists for error handling of undeliverable mail, and is required by SMTP RFC.
