CentOS - Dec 2010 - x86_64 and Thunderbird Trash folder.

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?

      mark "or just leave it running for a year at a time?"

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.

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