Thunderbird 2 doesn't always group new messages correctly iirc.  This is probably fixed in thunderbird 3.  If it is, you can close this bug worksforme or find the fixing bug. It may have assignee=bienvenu

This issue exists in the Shredder nightlies as well; though my "View" -> "Threads"  setting in the menus is set to "All" instead of "Unread".

I have a similar issue where if I select group sort for a pop box, the contents of that box disappears and I have to rebuild the index to get the emails back. IMAP inboxes are fine.
