Do you have large attachments in your Thunderbird email? I had one
email with a 40MB zip file that I had to erase in order to import with
Kmail. But that was a few versions back.

Try copying your ~/.mozilla-thunderbird/***.default/Mail/Local\
Folders into a separate directory, and import the subsubdirectories
piecemeal.
