This bug cant be fixed until indexing mailboxes is overhauled. There are some workarounds, but these do not really solve the bug at all. Main problem: if you set the time between re-index runs to short one process wont have finished before the next one is started. You may end up having tens to hundred indexing processes run. slowing down the whole system or, at least make thunderbird unresponsive. Setting re-index time up solves this partly, by lowering opportunity having an index process started before the before started one finished. Solving the issue means to invent locking for those processes: if one is started an other one started later lands in a queue or terminates immediately. Both solutions take some non trivial changes to how indexing is triggered.
