this was thunderbird 2.0.0.4 for fc6 installed from remi repository. I 
don't think that fedora developers would care. The bug is strange 
indeed. It is very easy to reproduce on my machine, and this happens 
only between two specific accounts. No error messages, the mail just 
silently disappears and I am immediately asked to compact my mailboxes. 
I was stupid enough to press "OK" without checking whether everything 
went fine.

I'm running FC6 on i386 and x86_64 hardware, should this matter.
