4.3 GB is very big for an Inbox folder. Inbox folders are not meant to store decades of message traffic and it's better to store messages you want (or you need) to keep in Archive folders. You may also create thematic folders in the Local Folders for long time storing. You may try to rebuild the Global Database https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database Rebuilding the global-messages-db.sqlite file after restart of Thunderbird might take several hours depending on the number of messages in your Thunderbird profile.
