Everytime I open thunderbird it gives me this message 3 or 4 times: Some folders (e.g. 'All Mail on ebailey@phillipslaw.net') cannot be compacted because there is not enough free disk space. Please delete some files and try again. I have deleted thousands of emails and it still sends this message

Hello there We have read the message. We try to help.


Can you send me a screenshot of the message?

antivirus software can sometimes disrupt the cooperation of both, what then happens is that slowness occurs or problems arise. Shut down monitoring or the security software if that is possible.

How is the diskspace from the computer

Is there still enough space on the hard drive of your computers?

If you have added a limit on your PC for this, please check this as well.

Hello there

what I mean is to check your hard drive where you keep your profile folder to see if this hard drive is still okay.

Transfer the profile map to a another place to check if it s still intact.

is your profile folder still okay? Send me a message after that. If possible.

Compact is being rewritten for version 128, coming out this summer. If you have trouble with that version, then please post a new support topic.
