Steps to reproduce:
Reopening bug #802217 as it is a separate issue from #803843 as per
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=803843#c33
This is happening (at least) for 16.0.2 as downloaded from Ubuntu.

The continuous downloading is happening in the same folders where the
size growth from bug 803843 was happening, so the same messages are
probably triggering it.
To trigger the behaviour I only need to go to the folder. Leaving the
folder and going back into it right away triggers it again.

The test message from the other bug does not trigger this behaviour for
me. I took it, forwarded it to myself with a 10mb PDF attachment to
increase its size, and have no problems opening it in a folder that
contains just that message, and it doesn't redownload.
What seems to help is repairing the folder. After I repair them,
switching into it doesn't trigger the behaviour anymore. I have one
folder with 10 messages where it is still triggered (its only 500kb or
so). I would guess that if I repair it it will fix the problem as it did
in the several other folders before.

Can you save the .msf from that folder ?

I see the issue in SeaMonkey 2.13.1 as well.
We updated from 2.10.1 to 2.13.1 and now we have several IMAP issues, including:
- slow opening of messages with big attachment (should retrieve only text when initially showing the message and retrieve attachment only when it is saved)
- wrong information in Size column of the message list, changing when attachments are opened
- attachments sometimes cannot be opened, the dreaded "This part will be downloaded on demand" problem that has been lingering for a long time. repair of the .msf file fixes it, but it re-occurs when visiting another message and returning
- apparently depending on details of the MIME structure of the message, some messages show consistent problems and on other messages it is not reproducible
I will investigate with 2.13.2 just released, and with 2.12

I have done a lot of testing and decided to revert to 2.12.1 which solves our issues.
2.13.2 is better than 2.13.1 but there are still problems.

I have the same issue in Tb17 on Mac 10.8.2
Interesting fact: When compacting the affected folder, *all* instances
of that duplicated email are removed from the file.
If you need additional info, I'm happy to help/test.

I am having this issue on TB16.0.2 with Win7x64. I am not experiencing
any IMAP mail growth. My inbox is about 40mb and is not growing. The
folders that are constantly being redownloaded do not appear to be
growing without bound, either.

@Eric: does the issue go away when you repair (right click ->

Additional information:
With SeaMonkey 2.13.1 when an attachment cannot be opened (doubleclick on attachment, the saved temporary file is not correct and the started application throws an error), a repair fixes the problem for 1 try, the problem comes back when re-visiting the same message and another repair is required.
With SeaMonkey 2.13.2 and a freshly created .msf it works OK, but when repair is selected the problem then occurs. (inverse of 2.13.1)
This is a setup where IMAP is used (UW IMAPD) and folders are NOT synchronized for offline use.
So the file growth is not visible, but there still are problems.

I just found myself with a 208gb /home/user/.thunderbird folder.
Compacting the affected folders does drop the size by around 50gb, and
doesn't seem to grow as much as it used to prior to 16.0.2 but I'm still
getting banned by Google for a few hours at a time due too much
bandwidth.
Its still re-downloading the messages. Will grab anything you need or
more information.
Ubuntu 12.10

Folder repair is a local phenomenon. In other words, the folder being
repaired is the *local* filesystem folder.
I can create a brand new Thunderbird profile and have this problem. It
will act like it is downloading all the messages and eventually finish.
Once I close Thunderbird, it starts all over on the next restart.
Additionally, a message that I just clicked on and viewed in the preview
pane will be re-downloaded the next time I click on it. The little
status area at the bottom says "loading message."
In TB15, when the message is downloaded it does not attempt to re-
download it the next time I view it.

I am experiencing the same behavior running TB 16.0.2 under Ubuntu
12.04. IMAP keeps downloading but not writing into the folder and after
a few hours google is banning my account for excessive usage. While I
was using TB 16.0.1 the filesize of the IMAP folder was constantly
increasing. This is a serious problem rendering such a critical program
mostly unusable.

Just for giggles I have repaired my inbox folder and am still noticing
the same issues:
* Clicking around on various messages, every time I return to the same
message it appears to be downloaded again.
* Going to File->Offline->Download/Sync Now and selecting to sync the
Inbox results in a status message being displayed that it is downloading
the various messages, but no changes to the filesize of the inbox file
actually occur - after the repair it's still sitting at 0kb.
* Restarting Thunderbird results in an immediate activity in the
activity manager of "Bringing Inbox up to date" -- right after I've just
told TB to sync/download the folder!
* After clicking around again and deleting a few messages from Inbox,
nothing has changed with the filesize. It also is still downloading the
message I click on every time.
* I then saw another activity "Bringing Inbox up to date" where it is
showing that it is downloading all 110 messages again, but nothing much
is happening to the inbox IMAP file on disk.
I have another mail client attached to this same account (TB15 on Fedora
16) and the Inbox file is approximately 100meg. Before the repair on
TB16/Win7x64 the Inbox file was only up to about 46 meg.
Something is definitely completely bonkers with the IMAP engine in
TB16+. 16 and 16.0.2 seem to do the same thing, and it's gnarly.

This should probably be a blocker for bug 805830 (banned from gmail).
And I would suggest raising the importance a notch.

I finally got Glodaquilla to work against 16.0.2. Guess what? Not a
single message in inbox is being marked as "on disk." In fact, after
looking through every folder I have, I would say that less than 20
messages are marked as being "on disk." This is despite the fact that
the "Imapmail" folder for this profile is ~117MB.
So, something is definitely going on here.

Ah, nice addon! The one folder where the continuous downloading happens
for me has one mail marked as not on disk (all other folders have all
mails downloaded after repairing them), and that is the only mail with
the gloda dirty flag as well. The flag clears after 30 seconds or so,
and then when the next re-download happens another 30 seconds or so
later, its obviously set again. Rinse and repeat.
