My experience is that enough garbage appears in thunderbird profiles 
after several years of usage. Unsubscribed NNTP groups, IMAP caches that 
thunderbird considered corrupted, so another one with -1 suffix appear, 
server-side changes of folder name encodings, etc.

While thunderbird is not running, you may try to rename the profile 
inside prefs.js and the directory on the disk. I have no idea if global 
search index will be affected by such rename.

It should be possible to use another folder for this purpose.

Thunderbird may use another folder. Perhaps server might insist that 
such name must exist. It should be possible to unsubscribe from this 
folder, but I would not call it a bullet-proof solution.
