Hello Robert,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.
You made this bug report in 2012 and there have been several versions of
Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the
ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for
this particular issue.
Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

Title:
Thunderbird munges new email that arrives while downloading old emails
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I use IMAP to access my Gmail account, which has a fair number of
emails in it. When I set up Thunderbird on a new computer, it takes a
while to download all of those emails (presumably for its full-text
search). If a new email arrives during that time, there's a 50%
chance it will get munged up with an old email. That is, the text
that Thunderbird thinks is the email contains fragments of two emails.
This text may not start with an email header, so the display is
typically rather messed up.
There is apparently no way to force Thunderbird to re-download the
email, short of archiving it, letting Thunderbird notice that it's
gone, and then adding it back to the inbox. Of course, now you have
to download it again, and there's that chance that it'll get screwed
up again. (This also destroys the order of emails in the inbox, if
you like to use sort by order instead of by (alleged) time.)
Note that this seems to only be an issue with the full text. I think
the headers are downloaded separately, so the email shows up fine in
the list of emails. It's just the display that's broken.
