Hello,

Exchange 2010 does not handle IMAP "chunking" (partial message transfer) 
correctly.  Any request after about 1 megabyte of total message size 
will fail.

Thunderbird uses this "chunking" feature to give you a status update 
while downloading large messages.  The IMAP statements are of this type:
11 UID fetch 244477 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODY[]<20480.12288>)

When the 20480 is larger than 1MB Exchange "claims" there is no more.  
Sigh....

Fortunately you can disable this feature.  To disable this in 
Thunderbird you can go to the Advanced configuration and disable the 
following feature, by setting it to false:
mail.server.default.fetch_by_chunks
