I believe that the messages need to be indexed before you will get the
new thread summary view, or whatever you want to call it. On my
thunderbird install, I think the messages are indexed after being
downloaded. Sometimes it takes a little while before they are all complete.
Sometimes I don't see the summary view either, but it seems to work just
fine after indexing. I'm using IMAP on a gmail account, if that makes
any difference.
