I was surprised to see that this bug goes back to version 16
Yet I'm on Xubuntu 14.04 and Thunderbird 31, and still getting massive imap traffic when leave Thunderbird open.
In a few minutes download traffic goes up to 600KiB/s and not to mention high CPU usage.

Workarounds?
Opening and closing Thunderbird as soon as mail checking ends.
Stop using IMAP.
Or... stop using Thunderbird.

Neither one does please me. :(
