Dovecot v1.1 prevents this in two ways:

1) SEARCH gives a notification every 10 seconds that it's still in  
progress, so Thunderbird doesn't just assume the connection timed  
out. Or at least I hope it doesn't.

2) There's a setting to limit the number of mail processes for a user  
from the same IP.

With v1.0 there's not much you can do about it.
