I run FOUR copies of Thunderbird at one time, each with its own 
directory structure.  Each has multiple mail addresses to download.

I start them with command lines like:

export MOZ_NO_REMOTE=1
thunderbird -profile ~/data/htt/Mail &
export -n MOZ_NO_REMOTE

A typical mail 'system' will have 5Gb of archived mail in a 100+ nested 
folders.  1000+ emails per mail copy per day is typical.  Compacting 
<in> and <junk> goes fast and thank g-d, never a crash from that.  My 
system has crashed from running hot during a 3000+ mail download after 
being offline for a weekend and Thunderbird just 'reached' out and 
downloaded the mail, but given I am using POP (I could use IMAP but 
don't) it had to start from the beginning.

If Trash gets above 50K messages I will start consider emptying it.  I 
sometimes have to scan all my message folders when trying to remember 
where I stuffed something and if it is a header search still only takes 
a couple minutes.  (I have learned to limit body searches to specific 
folders!)

Oh, my mail server is running Courier Mail for POP and IMAP on a Fedora 
12 Amahi.org server.

I do have SquirrelMail available on my server and have used it at times.
