   Then I think you haven't seen this issue for whatever reason. For me 
it takes Thunderbird from the best e-mail client IMHO to the worst. On 
the other hand, working around this issue by disabling syncing takes it 
back to the best. Warren's suggested workaround would probably allow me 
to turn syncing back on, though even then it doesn't sound as good as 
just disabling syncing.

   I use dovecot-1.1.11-1.11.fc10.x86_64 with imap and ssl. My MailDir 
directory is 5.3gb. My high scoring spam folder is 3.2gb. My mail 
servers aren't local. All three are in colos.
