Thunderbird: This folder is being processed...


So, all of a sudden, Thunderbird 2.0.0.19 has started
Code:
"This folder is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages."
after it's been running for a while (like, about 30 minutes). Closing it produces
Code:
"The operation can not be completed because of an internal failure. A secure network communication has not been cleaned up correctly."
OK, I haven't seen this in a couple of years or so and haven't a clue what's up with this -- the mail account is configured with SSL as it has been for a year or so (required by the ISP), I've tried reducing the check-for-messages setting to 5 minutes (in vain).

Any clues?

Have a look at mozillaZine.
There are several possible causes for this.

Thanks for the link -- actually, that was one of the first things I looked at (and, yup, I did check or do all the described fixes) before posting this.

Additionally, under the rule of can't-hurt-might-help, I have
  • Un-installed and reinstalled Thunderbird
  • Blown away the .thunderbird directories in user's home directories (restarted them from scratch)
  • Started Thunderbird as root the first time (used to be some chrome thing or other that didn't work right if you didn't do this -- remember, can't-hurt...)
  • Checked every configuration option
  • Double-checked that LDAP is not starting or running (just in case)
  • Mumbled a large number of juicy phrases
And, now, I've run dry; I have noted that Seamonkey, with precisely the same configuration and settings, does not do this (yeah, I know they're not at all the same thing, but...).

There are also several topics on mozillaZine where the issue is discussed.
I found this one that may be of some use to you. There are a few solutions mentioned that *could* work for you.
If not, then I'm afraid you might have hit a bug.
There is a -resolved- bug about "Folder is Being Processed".
I read there about an add-on that might be of some help to you: Progress History Extension.
