This is almost certainly a Thunderbird issue. It keeps its own index 
files, and sometimes they get corrupted. They tend to get corrupted more 
often with folders that have lots of messages. If you can find a way to 
archive the old messages into other folders, Thunderbird should start 
behaving well again. You might need to right-click on the Inbox folder, 
select Properties, and then press the "Rebuild Index" button. That will 
take a long time for 56K+ messages.
