Technically No. Practically 4Gb is still the limit I would consider as the removal of the limit is to new to be trustworthy.

  • Loss of mail in the mailbox can be caused by a corrupt index (right click the folder select properties and then repair)
  • Quarantined by anti virus (look in the anti virus logs for a file called inbox)
  • Hard disk errors (check disk with disk tools that come with the operating system)
  • write errors caused by other programs (anti virus) locking the file to scan it (Create an exemption for the Thunderbird profile folder in your anti virus programs on access scanner)
