I wrote an article concerning this, referring to SeaMonkey's ancestor,
Netscape 7. I think it applies here as well:

Basically, do not use Inbox as a long term repository for stored email.
If you need to keep email, store it in archive folders.
I would have to disagree with you on that Lee. That might have been a
problem in the old Netscape days, but its not now. I've had stuff in my
inbox for years, and never had a problem. Then again, my inbox isn't
over 2 gigs big either. But I do have other folders that are about that
big and still don't have problems.
But Grant, if they are in other folders, they are not in Inbox, are
they? I don't think it matters how long items have been there, its
the size and the constant access that does it.
but I'm saying I have many messages within the inbox that have been
there for years, and I've never experienced any problems.
Since the OP found that the problem did not occur with a clean Inbox,
but reoccurred with the old Inbox restored, is that not instructive?
I think the OPs problem is he reached the size limit for an SM folder
which is 2 gigs!: http://seamonkey.ilias.ca/mailnewsfaq/SizeLimit
While in TB its 4 gigs:

Talk about discrimination! ;-)
I make a new folder for storage of incoming messages when the Inbox reaches
about 1000 messages.
I attempted to find out how big that storage folder (Old Inbox) is, but it
appears SeaMonkey has no "Get Info" as the Finder does!
How can I find that? I don't know where SM data is kept...
