When I try to delete a larger number of emails (50 or more) from an account/folder, the script stops working and Thunderbird stops responding to the point where I have to task manager and stop the program manually. The error message is script: chrome://messenger/content/folderpane.js:2113

I have 4 email accounts on Thunderbird, and it happens only to one of them. I also noticed that the other accounts have a "archive" as well as a "delete" option, but this one only has a "delete" option. This one also automatically purges all deleted emails (trash) after 24 hours, which I can not seem to change in the settings.
