I've ticked neither "Check for new messages at startup" nor "Check for new messages every __________ minutes" at Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings. Hence, the only time Thunderbird 45.2.0 should download messages is when I click on the "New Messages" button. Yet, it insists upon downloading messages at random! How can I stop this wonky behavior? Thank you for your helpful advice.

Thank you for your insight, Airmail! I dumped Internet Message Access Protocol and welcomed back Post Office Protocol. The result: All those bamboozling, stupid and wonky anomalies immediately went away Yay!
