All words marked as misspelled and simultaneously fails to delete incremental drafts.
I'm running Thunderbird 24.4.0 on a MacBookPro 2.16 GHz Intel Core Duo and OS 10.6.8.
About six months ago T-bird began marking all words in my drafts as misspelled and simultaneously began failing to delete incremental draft messages--at the end of drafting a message I would have twenty or more drafts in the draft folder.
The two bugs often do occur simultaneously but not always--some times it's one or the other but not both.
Deleting current work in progress and closing/restarting T-bird _sometimes_ clears the bug but not always.

I recall seeing a bug on the drafts... only with IMAP accounts it said I think.
Changing the default IMAP location from the IMAP drafts folder to local folders in Preferences → Account Settings... was suggested as a workaround.
Dictionary.
When composing a mail, Cmd click in the compose area and select from the menu Language and make sure one is actually selected.
Thanks for the shot at this--every little bit helps!
I'm POP-3 rather than IMAP. I'll follow up on the cmd-click double check as the bug rears it's ugly little head--maybe it can be headed off (pun intended) at that point ... .
