Kent, I really intended the db's to only get closed after 3 minutes of idle (or
5, I can't remember), not 3 seconds. It was a milliseconds vs. seconds
confusion, so that really should be fixed.

I don't think we need to worry about people who have overridden this pref, so just changing the default is fine.

We should just take this straight onto aurora and beta as it should be safe.

That will affect new installs only right ?

I'm pretty sure everyone who has not changed the pref will get the new default when they update

I've been banging this bug for-ever. I never changed mail.db.idle_limit but just now found it set to 4000. I changed it to 300000 and for the first time in *years* thunderbird has stopped locking up randomly.
