Hi, I use the Thunderbird with multiple mail accounts, the disk on my computer is not very big (250GB) and one of the partitions has no space on it while Thunderbird has downloaded more than 45 GB worth of mails(and it takes more and more while I delete other files to save my work), thus the question: is there any possibility to limit the space Thunderbird can use on my disk or choose the period of time I want the emails to be downloaded? Thanks!

No, that option does not exist. However, it is possible to store each account on a different drive and that would reduce demand on your primary drive.
