What do you mean by "reindexing"? Did you quit Thunderbird, delete the file global-messages-db.sqlite in the profile folder and restart Thunderbird? Creating the new global-messages-db.sqlite may take hours if you have many messages in many folders in many accounts. Maybe that's why you think it "hangs up". You can follow the indexing processus by opening the Activity Manager window via the Tools menu. Does TB really get unresponsive (hang up) or do you get an error message?
