I get this message intermittently on folders other than inbox - like trash, bulk mail, sent, drafts. What is this problem? Can't reproduce consistently. I might not work one time when I click a folder but if I go back a few minutes later, it works; a few minutes later I get the message again. Thunderbird is up to date.

I'm seeing the same behavior for both, AOL, and Yahoo. My best guess is Yahoo were at it again, and messed with their server, just to make things worse. I have no fix for this either.
