hi,

i have my POP email on thunderbird under ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. i try to import the email to one of my folder. But thunderbird says my folder is full and i have to delete the old files and compact it. i try to see the properties of my folder and it stuck at 4GB. another mail cant move to that folder. i think its a limiter on thunderbird with 4GB folder.

how i can move more mail to that folder and make the limit of the folder is not only 4GB.


Thank you

You can not do what you want.

Create a new folder and move some mail into it. OR Use the archive feature that will move mail from the inbox to some archive folders. http://en.flossmanuals.net/thunderbird/archiving-messages/
