Thunderbird taken 15-20 seconds to start up.

Also - this may be related or not so I'll ask twice.

When I try and delete an email get the message "The folder Trash is full, and can't hold any more messages. To make room for more messages, delete any old or unwanted mail and compact the folder." What I then do is move the message to trash which works. I have removed large number of email from trash so there should be room.

15-20 seconds is not necessarily slow.

Does it reproduce with Thunderbird safe mode and windows safe mode?

Well I will not answer twice. Consider this thread closed.

The delete problem seems to be fixed but not the slow startup

The speed problem is ok now. To solve the trash problem I deleted the trash folder and created a new one.
