well one solution might be:

iff all the accounts are imap, and we have the mails on the mail servers, no problem: just delete your 20.000 mails (i assume that's what you meant). but then, before thunderbird starts automatically downloading them again, we have to make sure it is set up to not create too many local copies of our mail.

and besides that, all this can be achieved by:
- opening the menu: Edit => Account settings => Synchronization & Storage and making the appropriate adjustments, seperately for each account.
- deleting the "$HOME/.thunderbird/XXXXXXXX.default/ImapMail" folder


But wait: how to find out if i use imap - can you help here?
