How to avoid Thunderbird exceeding email account bandwidth limit?

Since a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 I get messages from Thunderbird that my
email account has exceeded bandwidth limits. I use IMAP access my email and I have never had this problem before but I notice that Thunderbird never really finishes downloading messages. My bandwidth limit is 2.5 GB per day and Thunderbird keeps hitting the limit between being suspended due to hitting it.

How can I avoid reaching the bandwidth limit?

One way to avoid this is to uncheck "Keep messages for this account on the computer" which is found under Synchronization & Storage in the Account settings for the affected email account.
