Try rebuilding/repairing your INBOX and/or other effected folders. Right-click
on the folder in the left-hand pane, select 'Properties' and then "Repair
Folder". This can happen when Thunderbird's cache gets out-of-sync from the
server and it cannot figure out how to get back in sync on it's own.

I must agree.
There can be many barriers to installing or upgrading from on line sources.
I will solve *my* own situation later by using the DVD images I have even if
slightly behind. I want stable squeeze anyway.
