I'm seeing this post late, so I don't know if you noticed that I got the 
problem solved.

I deleted a few configuration files that the FAQ said could be deleted, and 
everything worked again.
I posted the details on another post.

I have two setups. This one is a temporary one, using just Thunderbird and my 
provider imap account.
I later added postfix for sending, it is more reliable and allows Th, to return 
control faster. It
is what I use on my laptop, and the "testing" partitions.

My "normal" setup is different: fetchmail, postfix, amavis, procmail, 
spamassassin. With a secondary
local account using wu-imap, which I use to share some mails with the laptop.

I'm also having a look at dovecot, but the problem is that it doesn't integrate 
well with procmail
filtering. It has its own filtering system which I don't know much about, so 
I'm not sure if I could
migrate all my procmail rules.
