I ran into this, too. I sort of like the feature, but it's better to do
the synchronization when not working with Thunderbird, because it eats
much CPU time. At least on my very slow laptop.

But you can turn it off: in the 'synchronization and space' settings,
first option at the top.

Now if I only knew why Thunderbird on Linux (not on Windows) does not
check my folders for new mails... this makes it unusable for me. So I'm
using Claws now.
