1 I decided to give thunderbird (and its integrated calendar, lightning) a try
2 after having some troubles with kontact corrupting and deleting events on a
3 webdav calendar. I initially tried thunderbird 3.0.4 (which I think didn't
4 actually have the calendar integrated--not really significant), and had
5 trouble getting TB to display the contents of my email folders on an IMAP
6 server. Most folders showed up empty. I have about 180 folders with about
7 14,000 messages total--the correct folders were shown, just nothing shown in
8 them.

10 After a bit of googling, I found a reference to a bug resembling my problem
11 that supposedly was fixed in 3.1.2. I tried that version without change to
12 the problem, and today 3.1.2-r1 with the same result.

14 My IMAP server is net-mail/courier-imap 4.5.0 on the same host as my
15 workstation. I have no trouble reading folders and their contents with
16 kontact 4.4.5/kmail 1.13.5
17
18 I've tried more googling and searching at the mozilla.org site for clues.
19 Anyone have any experience with this problem--and perhaps a solution?
