By default Thunderbird creates a local cache for IMAP accounts -- for large accounts, this can be problematic. Have you tried disabling the local synchronization?

It's unchecked already.
I experienced a similar problem with Thunderbird on Windows. For me, it ended up being folder compaction. Changing the settings on compaction (Tools/Options/Advanced/Network & Disk Space) reduced the frequency that folders are compacted, and thereby my frustration, but did not eliminate them. I agree that the UI should not be affected by maintenance functions.
Hope this helps.
