By default Thunderbird creates a local cache for IMAP accounts -- for
large accounts, this can be problematic. Have you tried disabling the
local synchronization?
Account Settings -> Synch & Storage -> Uncheck "Keep messages for this
account on this computer"
Or at least that's where it is in Windows T-Bird.
