You need to provide more information about the type of email account ...
POP3? IMAP? Movemail?
I often have up to 10,000 emails in my Inbox before I clear it out
(IMAPS Inbox, via dovecot from my email server) by running the
thunderbird on my server which movemails the Inbox into my local
folders. Yeah, I only clear it out once a month....

Sounds like Thunderbirds index files are corrupt. Try deleting them,
and let Thunderbird re-create them.

Only when it gets confused, and I haven't seen Thunderbird 2.x get
confused nearly as often as thunderbird 1.x used to....

I use Thunderbird becuase it is cross-platform. I have the same
interface to my email, whether from Linux or that *other* OS....
