         I too have established 16 boxes under the inbox. Are you pop or 
imap? In a terminal type cd .thunderbird and then when there type ls. 
You see another directory like 3vf714nu.default which is your control 
file for Thunderbird. Please rename this directory to 
old.3vf714nu.default. This saves it for you.

     Now boot back into Thundirbird. IF you are using imap just let it 
run for about 24 hours. What happens is you make a new set of control 
files and it may get you back to a solid no drop out thunderbird.
