I'm currently testing out the Thunderbird 3.0 release candidates... 
overall, it's better then TB 2 was at IMAP.  Overall, I'm pretty happy 
with version 3 and how it deals with my multi-gigabyte IMAP mailboxes 
with dozens of folders.  Stability seems to be better then it was in TB 
v2 in terms of indexing and downloading messages.

(That comes with a huge caveat, however.  Beta 4 introduced some rather 
severe bugs in IMAP performance which have yet to be fixed as of RC1 
build #2.  I'm hoping that this coming week there will be another more 
stable build.)
