Bug Description

During re-syncronization of IMAP folders with large amount of letters (over 100k), even with small amount of new letters, thunderbird create 100% CPU load for prolonged time, causing quick laptop's battery discharge and excessive heating.

Activity manager shows something like 'syncronizing 9 letters', but operation stalls and take very long time with 100% CPU load.
