I can do that...

I guess (hope) the problem is not the size of the mailbox, but a "bad"
entry that might result in a corrupted .msf.
A bad entry in the preferences or in the individual mail files?

So the idea is to spot a single mail that causes all the trouble. If you
need instructions on how to do this, let me know
Ok, here's a bit more about my current setup that might help:
I have 7 POP accounts set up under the same Thunderbird profile. I've had the same problem with (at least) three of my seven email boxes, all of them the largest ones with the most messages.
As part of my workaround that assumed that large inboxes caused the 
problem, I moved my big Inboxes to other files/mail folders called 
Inbox.2; new mail then went into an empty Inbox folder.  I can merge 
them back into one large Inbox, if necessary.
I need a bit more information about how you plan on finding which mail 
causes the problem.  If I start with brand new folders, we'll be waiting 
for a couple of months for the problem to reproduce itself unless I 
flood myself with email (?).
Thanks,
