It's a bug in Thunderbird.  It is the result of using multiple accounts 
and something about multi-threading, I think, (on mine, anyway).  I have 
not filed a bug, but surely they know about it, it's present on both 
Linux and Windows, and through several versions.  I have been patiently 
waiting for a fix, perhaps we should all file bugs, if they are 
inundated with bug reports, maybe they'll be more motivated to fix it.
