I just ran into something odd, I have x86_64 5.5 running with Thunderbird.
I am getting a message about can delete the email as Trash is FULL.
The file size is 4G. Whats up with that????
I have the 64 bit executable running. file /usr/lib64/thunderbird-2.0.0.24/thunderbird-bin /usr/lib64/thunderbird-2.0.0.24/thunderbird-bin: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.9, stripped

Um, do you ever log out, or close firefox? For that matter, do you have it set to empty trash when done? Or do you ever manually compress folders/empty trash?

NO - your correct I dont log out it's got messages in there from way back. I'd like to keep them for history. I thought on a 64bit machine there were no 4G limits.

If you want to keep them, then why delete them in the first place? A trash can is for trash, not archives. Do you bag up the kitchen trash and then put it in the garage just in case you want to look through it?

What he said. The email I don't delete, I keep for-bloody-ever, too, but I create diretories under or outside the inbox - 2007-jan-jun, 2007-jul-dec, etc, and six months later, dump everything from that time period into them. Or, in the past, I've moved them to directories named for the folks the mail's from.
Nothing's going to run forever without having problems at some point. Empty your trash!

Which Trash, the local one or the imap one...? If local, check in: ~/.thunderbird/*.default/Mail/Local\ Folders/ Otherwise, check on the IMAP server...
