I received this in private mail; but I think that the information in it is
useful enough that it should be made generally available. I've deleted
the sender's name and email address, but of course he's welcome to speak
up and take credit if he wishes...

Since both Thunderbird and Outlook support IMAP, another measure would be

Well, even if you switch to IMAP, client timeout may seemingly break the
connection at the wrong moment on 'mboxes' (like my >100M Monster-Spambox)
As far as I foud out debian-sarge's thunderbird has a fixed timeout
of only 29 Seconds!!!
Only after installing the 'about:config'-Extension and changing the
timeouts to 300 Seconds with it, I could read the Boxes correctly.
(I let them grow, because I had no problem with pine and mutt via NFS :-)
May be it happened to the users 'now' because of the new picture-spams
which enlarge all our INBOXes more and more in the last weeks...
