The file and directory permissions are fine.
Are you certain that the Thunderbird behavior has anything to do with the
Blackberry? I can't imagine how Thunderbird is even aware that the
Blackberry sessions happened, and I notice some significant gaps in times
between the two. Perhaps both of them are spawning new sessions and they
just seem to be intertwined.
Can you get any sort of debugging telemetry logs from Thunderbird? That
might help explain what it is doing.

Could the tight permissions on his home directory be an issue?

If the mailbox is truly mbx format, then there is no reason at the server
side why Thunderbird should be behaving this way.

One of our users has acquired a blackberry. He simultaneously runs it
while his desktop Thunderbird is open, against an mbx INBOX. The result is
that that Thunderbird starts a new imap daemon, leaving the current one
running every time the blackberry logs in and out.
How do we fix this?
Here is some of our sendmail log, 170.140.150.51 (sunny) is the
workstation. Imapsd is 2006J, Thunderbird is 2.0.0.6.
