How to stop auto archive/backup of one local folder
For the last couple years I have had a non-responding error, couldn't type a sentence in an email without it going into non-responding mode. I tried many solutions from many contributors, but never solved the problem. Then I found a TRASHBOX folder in my T-Bird directory that was archiving or backing up only one local folder every five minutes. It occasionally backs up the main file. To get rid of the non-responding error, I just deleted 100,000+ of these files, and a couple times a day and continue to delete. Non-responding problems went away. One weird aspect is that the date (not the time, it current) of these files is the date of the local folder (in 2008).
I'm trying to find out how to stop this archiving/backup. Any ideas?

I would try checking your computer schedule to see if it has a schedule to backup a Thunderbird file.
Nothing there. It has to be a thunderbird execution as the file it leaves is only 2kb and thunderbird CPU/memory utilization goes up when this happens. Also the file date in normal backup would be the date of backup, not a date 12 years ago (date of the folder).
what is the folder name? what is the name of this 2kb file that you have 100,000 of
trashbox/Local Folders, see attached screen shot
Google seems to mention 'TRASHBOX' as a recycle bin. It seems related to NAS and possibly Buffalo Terastation, does any of this sound familiar to you.
It sounds like you have a scheduled backup of files being performed, old files are deleted and put into TRASHBOX, but they are not being deleted.

Toad-Hall, I think you are on to something. Between windows history and Buffalo, there is something going on. Made some changes this morning, let's see how it takes. Thanks
