I do not know if it helps at all but I tried to recreate this
condition without success on my system but these are my versions

WinXP Pro SP3
Thunderbird 2.0.0.19
Webmail 1.3.2

I can leave Thunderbird offline for longer than the 30 minutes
suggested here.  Going back online I experience no errors in
communicating with GMail, Yahoo and Hotmail.

Later I will retry with Webmail 1.3.3b3.
