I don't know about thunderbird specifically, but if I point evolution to
my mbox, and just delete a mail it goes to evolution's "trash" folder
yet still appears in mutt until I empty the "trash" folder -- perhaps
the problem you're experiencing is analogous?  I don't know if "compact
folders" empties any sort of trash receptacle thunderbird keeps.
