I can confirm this bug under Thunderbird 2.0.0.0 (Fedora 7 package: thunderbird-2.0.0.0-1.fc7).

I see a new file in /tmp/ created for each time thunderbird checks for new messages. First file is /tmp/tmprules.dat, then /tmp/tmprules-1.dat, then /tmp/tmprules-2.dat, and so on.

If I remove all message filters the problem remains.

I believe the problem is part of the Junk Mail system. I can cause the tmprules file to be created when:

1.) I have (at least) 2 accounts
2.) One account has Junk Settings->Trust junk mail headers set by: [Spamassassin]
3.) The other account has Junk Settings->Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account or Junk Settings->Do not mark mail as junk if the sender is in [Personal Address Book].

If I only have one account, enabling the junk mail settings doesn't cause new tmprules.dat files to be created.
