Huh? Just leave the details up to Thunderbird.
That was also my instinct, but I'm not sure if TB is going to tidy up that space. On my laptop, I have 16Gb taken up by TB mailbox files - I stopped the sync 2 days ago, nothing's been tidied up. One account I set to "keep 1 week" for the inbox, but the INBOX file sofar remains at 120Mb.
In my experience, when Thunderbird does a compact operation, it does save space.
When there is something to save, i.e. deleted files, yes. I did the compact on a few folders after I switched off the sync, nothing happened. I presume because no mails were deleted.
If you click "advanced" you see which folders are stored locally, but none is marked for this account.
Right, same here, non are marked. To save space, I don't think there is any way around manually removing the mailbox files. I tried it with a single subfolder - closed TB, moved the mailbox file, left the index, started TB, asked to repair the index. The email contents are intact.
