dovecot - Apr 2008 - icedove update

Something came up that Confounded problems in my move from UW-imap to 
dovecot. I found a problem with the new icedove update in Debian lenny 
when moving from 1.5.0.13+1.5.0.14b.dfsg1-0etch1 to 2.0.0.9-3 that could 
look like a dovecot issue. Icedove runs for a while but eventually quits 
updating the displayed email, yet appears to be working and busy trying 
to get messages from the server. I think it is related to message 
filters, but not sure.

The fix was to move .mozilla-thundrebird somewhere and restart icedove 
and create a new profile. There may be a more elegant fix.

I guess you should file a bug against Thunderbird or Icedove!  That seems 
like it corrupted its state in a way that it surely should not have!
