I'm not sure where the problem is. Thunderbird always starts out fine. 
But after running for some time the message count of unread message will 
increase on folder with new messages but when you click on the folders 
the new messages don't appear. Or messages appear but seem to be empty 
messages. When selecting to empty the trash - the trash doesn't empty, 
ot the count of messages in trash will drop down somewhat.

Restarting Dovecot or restarting Thunderbird always solves the problem 
for a while. I noticed the problem got a lot worse recently and the last 
change was upgrading to 1.2.1. But it's been a serious annoyance for 
over a year.

Nothing strange in the logs to report. Wish I had more information.
