Thunderbird keeps asking me to allow it to compact folders. This used to work, and I would see the progress in the status bar. Now it does nothing. Same if I pick it from the local menu or the main menu. No action, then almost every time I use the program it prompts me to compact folders. This may have happened only since upgrading to mint 17 from mint 15. Any Ideas?
