Some progress, at least - we know that somewhere the syntax parser is screwing up :)

Ok, so the IMAP server returns some error message which my t-bird fails to understand ? bienvenu_ asked me to get an IMAP client side log
export NSPR_LOG_MODULES=IMAP:5 export NSPR_LOG_FILE=/tmp/tbird.log
The log file data is a bit interesting, but not really anything to wake anyone up.
112905136[b6562480]: ReadNextLine [stream=b6562750 nb=52 needmore=0] 112905136[b6562480]: b6559af8:us.f318.mail.yahoo.com:S-foss.in: CreateNewLineFromSocket: * 1072 NO message error; can't fetch that message 112905136[b6562480]: b6559af8:us.f318.mail.yahoo.com:S-foss.in:PARSER: Internal Syntax Error: %s: * 1072 NO message error; can't fetch that message 112905136[b6562480]: b6559af8:us.f318.mail.yahoo.com:S-foss.in:SendData:TellThreadToDie: 8 logout 112905136[b6562480]: b6559af8:us.f318.mail.yahoo.com:S-foss.in:TellThreadToDie: close socket connection
Let us move onto the RFC - 2060 (IMAP version 4, revision 1). Scroll down to section 6.4.8. The UID command seems to expect 'NO' as a valid response - but it is not entirely clear whether "* 1072 NO" is valid in the current context. (updated: bienvenu_ told me that's a valid response). Right now, hacking on a quick fix to ignore 'NO' lines in that output.

My box had to be powered down - overheating. All this recompiling thunderbird is driving it up a wall. It has been a while since I had it reboot.

Sad, very sad ... but sometimes you've just got to power cycle and hope everything is back to working condition.
--Think of all that wasted power.
Managed to do too many things and screwed up everything ... Now I am stuck up shit creek without email.
