Storage is an issue between you and your email provider, as Thunderbird has no storage requirements. You can check space used in Thunderbird by clicking help>troubleshootinginformation, scroll to 'profile folder', click 'open folder', then click the imapmail folder and then the account folder. (I am assuming the account is IMAP.)

Where do you see evidence that storage is full?

You can check space used from within Thunderbird too. Right click on a folder, select "Properties", and look for "size on disk".

Is your trash folder taking up much space?

Is it a gmail account with an AllMail folder?
