another point on causing problems, do not have thunderbird run any automatic compacting of folders or deleting of Trash while thunderbird is in online state. put thunder in offline state, click "dual terminal" icon in lower left of thunderbird window, then run compacting manually. manual compacting can be done from Menu bar or pressing <alt+f>,<f>. manual deleting of trash is <alt+f>,<t>.
