Does this also happen with a new profile (with no account generated)?

do you have tbird configured to automatically delete junk mail older than XX
days? If you have a giant junk folder, or move your junk to the trash folder,
and have a giant trash folder, that might cause this.

This has been happening since I first had Thunderbird.  I hardly have any mail 
in any of the folders at all, and my junk mail gets dumped every 3 days.  Yes, 
it also happened when I hadn't configured anything at all.

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
