Zindus is great, because it both keeps a backup of your contacts online and off, and because it means you've always got your contacts available to you in your application of choice. Zindus automatically syncs your Google contacts with your Thunderbird contacts, and any added or edited contacts are automatically synced to both. Zindus is basically just like Lightning, but for your Google contacts. That way, it's always available online, but looks and feels just like a desktop calendar within Thunderbird.

If you haven't been doing that before, first back up your Thunderbird Profile - then compact all folders. See this about how to and why it's so important:

Not doing so can lead to problems like those you are experiencing. When done often enough, it can be an extremely fast process. We recommend weekly, but many of us do it daily.

How recently have you compacted your folders? Compacting is something that needs to be done regularly in any email program. You may be accessing Gmail as a POP account rather than as an IMAP account.
