User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: version 1.0.6 (20050716)

If you make a Subject line search on an IMAP folder containing 30'000 E-Mails
and trying to delete the matches Thunderbird will not delete them, I can't say
if it deleted some, at least the message count didn't change. Message Size is
about 1k-30k it's deleting from an Courier-IMAP Server.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.enter search keyword
2.select all messages
3.press delete

Actual Results:  
Didn't delete the mails.

Expected Results:  
Deleted Mails, or rather moved to trash mails.

Tried the same without search, approximately 10'000 mails without a subject line
search and it "crashed" or at least spun.

my guess is that we're generating too long a command line for the server to
handle, and it's silently failing (the server, that is). On trunk and 1.1a2
builds, I believe this is fixed. Please re-open if you can recreate this in a
trunk or 1.1a2 build
