[binc] Binc and Thunderbird?

[Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak]

Does anyone have any experience using multiple instances of Thunderbird 
0.5 (or higher) to monitor a single Binc folder?

I've been having odd, have-to-reproduce problems when several people are 
using TB at the same time to monitor the same Inbox. For instance, 
deleted messages will still show for a while on some TB clients. 
However, clicking on them to view them doesn't work, TB just freezes.

It seems like TB and Binc aren't staying 100% in sync. I cut the idle 
timeout in bincimap.conf way back to 20 seconds, with the idea that 
forcing TB to re-start the IMAP session each time it checks for mail 
might help things. This seems to make things better, but not perfect.

Has anyone else observed anything like this?

I'm using 1.2.7final, and various versions of TB.
