With Thunderbird 3 the default for IMAP accounts was changed to
downloading the entire messages and not only the headers.
There's a configuration variable you can set to revert that. I can't
reach kb.mozillazine.org atm, therefore I'm not sure what exactly it was.
But, independently from the default, you can configure the behaviour per
IMAP account: Go to the account settings and there to "Synchronisation &
Storage". You can change the download settings for the entire account or
even on a per folder basis.
