I'm a heavy Thunderbird user and I get this all the time. In particular I seem to get the eternal progress bar after going into offline mode after it has downloaded my email. That happens about 50% of the time I go into offline mode, and if I leave it this way, Tbird will eat up some CPU continuously. If I close and then restart it, things stay quiet as expected. I have the feeling it's just some buggy interaction between Thunderbird and the mail server. It sure would be nice to get some info on what Thunderbird thinks it's doing, though - would make it helpful to develop a meaningful bug report for it.
