This article should interest you: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Thunderbird_:_Tips_:_Compacting_Folders For what it's worth, I think Thunderbird's handling of this issue is just awful. It's very difficult to explain to end users that in the default configuarion, every so often they need to remember to do something counter-intuitive that makes their computer unusable for 20 minutes. Considering how badly Thunderbird begins malfunctioning when these files reach large sizes, there's really no excuse.
