What to do when your Thunderbird freaks out

Hey all,
Could very well be. I found more references to it on the net, but not
with any particular common theme. Come to think of it, I imagine that if
it broke every time there was a >250mb folder, it'd be more widespread.
It's also possible it was linked to threaded view. I turned on threads
for the first time ever last night, and next time I started Thunderbird,
it freaked out. (Incidentally, I experienced no incremental slowdown -
just a sudden extreme delay in building summary files linked with an
inability to view emails .)
It's also possible I had some other reason for corruption; possibly a
bad byte or two or three in the file. Of course, splitting up the files
fixed it, so...
Take it easy,
