Do you use McAfee anti-virus software? If yes, please read:
Is this an Imap mail account?
if yes, you can choose to only synchronize the most recent of emails instead of a whole folder. see info :
Make sure you compact folders on a regular basis to remove all 'marked as deleted' emails.
Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings -> Clean up ("Expunge") Inbox on Exit will compact the Inbox folder when you exit Thunderbird. If you check "Empty Trash on Exit" it will also empty and compact the Trash folder when you exit.

The solution seems to be the McAfee real time scanning. In settings at email attachments, disable that and the problems disappear, at least they did with mine. Thank you.
