I want to delete emails but Mozilla Thunderbird will not allow me to do this. It keeps sending a message "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again." I am trying to delete old emails and it sends me a message to "try deleting old emails." So frustrating!!!! It is telling me to do what I am trying to do but is stopping me from doing just that!!!! NOT HAPPY!!!!!

You might try using windows file explorer. That is, view the profile from within Windows to see what might be deleted manually.
