I can't help much. I have one imap account (myrealbox) which is not used
much. The rest of my setup seems similar to yours, but no such problems
are noted. Sorry.

disable one of the accounts and test out the other. If no problems
then switch and keep testing until you can find which account is
causing the problems.

I also have 2 IMAP accounts, one for work and one that I run on my home
server. No problems as you describe above. I do have a problem every
once in a while where there are new messages but TB doesn't tell me
about them! I know they are there because I can see them sitting on my
server, I can use other mailers to see that they are there, etc. If I
restart TB they magically appear. Frustrating....

It makes no difference for one, the other, or both.
