In Tools/Options/Advanced in Thunderbird 45.0 there is a heading Network but not Network & Disk Space as described in the following site: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1067332 I assume that this site relates to an earlier version. Where do I now go to find the disk space and turn off the compaction window.

I am not sure which site I used to download. I probably did not notice that v45.0 is a pre-release version.

Are you aware that v45 is a pre-release build and as such, won't necessarily be covered by current documentation?

If you don't specifically intend to be one of our beta testers, do you have a particular reason for using v45?

The current stable release is v38.6 or maybe 38.7.

grahamn,

Important question, do you see the same problem with version 45 started in safe mode??

(I'm running 45 on windows 7 and I do not see what you are reporting)

My computer will not connect to the net in safe mode so I can't check. I'll download the current version of Thunderbird.
