There is an option to disable thunderbird making a copy of all email locally.  
This is known to have had some issues on
some versions of Thunderbird, although it was a while ago. It should have been 
resolved in Mint 17 - but who knows.

Also you may try rebuild the index for the folders. (in folders properties)

Are you imaping from gmail?
