I realise this is an older thread, but it could be caused by deleted files not being released by the application - a reboot or killing said application would help. Can be checked with
sudo lsof | grep deleted
It can also just be corrupt metadata about a file where a small file is seen as taking up some ludicrous amount of storage. This thought was triggered by you mentioning the thuderbird sent directory. Inspect the files there.
