I had this very same problem since upgrading to 3.0.5 on lucid.
Using the 'Activity Manager' in the tools menu, combined with running TB in
debug-mode, I traced this to
being subscribed to a non-existant mailbox, probably caused by a bug in the
imap server I develop myself.
So apparently, when TB hits a tagged NO response during the STATUS commands it
uses to check
folders, it will give up on checking the remaining mailboxes. You might
consider this a TB bug, but only
if you expect clients to degrade gracefully during of server errors. Which imo
is not an unusual expectation.
You can run TB in debug mode as follows:
#!/bin/sh
MYDATE=`date "+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S"`
NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:5
NSPR_LOG_FILE=/tmp/thunderbird_${MYDATE}.log
export NSPR_LOG_MODULES NSPR_LOG_FILE
echo $NSPR_LOG_FILE
/usr/bin/thunderbird &
exit $?
