[Vseerror <808752@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dave, 
1. You wrote "A - has many cascading IMAP folders with a total volume of >10GB".  Roughly how many folders, and do what depth?
2. Have you determined what cause the high open file usage?
3. Does it still happen when using a current version of Thunderbird?
