I have a variation of this problem, and on the Windows platform. My 
Thunderbird-managed messages stayed around for a while, then 
"disappeared" -- become invisible -- from the particular folder they 
were in. I believe the messages are there, still, and were not deleted. 
But darned if I know how to get Thunderbird to display them until I, the 
user, want to get rid of them.
