TBird asking almost daily compact records

This defect appeared about 2 years ago, and then seemed resolved. Now, it has raised its ugly head once again, asking me at least every two days if I want compact (typically after I permanently remove a message from Inbox). In Options > advanced > network and disk space, I have "compact all... will save ' 60 MB.

My profile folder (C:\Users\***\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\oag21m8z.default) is about 2 GB in size.

Should I increase this configuration setting, for example 200 MB? Is there a defect in my current version: 24.6.0?

Thank you.

Re this defect appeared about 2 years ago
There is not a flaw or a bug.

Some information for you context help to understand why you get this message.

E-mail messages are downloaded to the Inbox of mail account.
The Inbox folder is displayed as a folder in the folders pane.
In reality, it is a file.
All emails are listed one after the other, in the order that they were downloaded in a single file.

When you delete an e-mail, it is marked as deleted, and your point of view, it disappears from the Inbox and reappears in the folder "Deleted".
in reality, it is always in the box receipt, but hidden to the view. It takes place.
When you record 'compact', these emails "marked as deleted" are deleted, feeing so a space.
See info on compaction - what it does and why it is important:

If you do not regularly compact all sorts of problems can occur.
It is recommended that you compact frequently.
The Inbox receives many entrants, deleting, moving emails etc.
It has been designed as an Inbox and not a storage overhead and should stay low in number of e-mail.
Keep the number of e-mail and compact low Inbox frequently and you should have a Thunderbird in good health.
see info:

Re in Options > advanced > network and disk space, I ' compact... will save "60 MB. "
It is the compact option. When you get the message to compact the folders, thunderbird has detected that you have 60 MB of emails "marked as deleted" using up valuable space.
I would reduce this figure to a maximum of 20 MB for forcing the more frequent compaction.
However, you can manually compact a folder for example: Inbox on a regular basis by right-clicking on the folder and select "compact" or compact all folders: file > Compact folders.

If the folder is not compacted corruption may occur when Thunderbird can not detect where the end of an email "marked as deleted" is actually and so could remove good emails. That's why I recommend that you don't keep loads of emails in the Inbox.

    Outlook express asks me to compact files, even if I left him he keeps asking more and more every 10-20 min no matter how many times I left it compact and files it ask me to do it again

    Other programs can cause this.  If you have Windows Desktop Search installed, go to control panel | Indexing options (I think that's where he is) and disable indexing courses OE.  If this doesn't fix it, then its another program.

  • Despite compact records later, I can't delete imported files

    Trying to consolidate email accounts in thunderbird for winxpsp3. With the import feature, I tried to import
    emails to outlook express and choose "all." Well, it has imported everything on my logical disk as a record of e-mail and now I can't delete them. They reappear once I deleted some of them on the next boot or install,
    Java will not erase of it at all. Why it has imported no records email and or in any case can I get rid of these file directories once anmd for all. I even uninstall on 4 different and same versions messed up the folder tree appears always. I would really like to keep usng thunderbird, but it's maddening.

    I stumbled upon the answer... somehow the program had used my drive D:\ logical for local folders "nobody," rather than looking in the D drive for mail folders. It is under this directive wide she added each file D that I got under local folders and couldn't delete all files in the local folders. It wasn't until I have change D to something more specific than ubiquitous inapplicable records finally went and could stay deleted.

    OK, this is probably a really easy solution - but I don't know what it is.

I would be happy to join an example document if I can. Any thoughts or ideas?

  • Impossible to compact files Outlook Express - "use current record"

    original title: cannot Compact Outlook Express folders

    In Outlook Express 6 on Windows XP SP2 with IE8, when you allow the OE compact records on demand, records almost total of compaction, but returns with an error message "file in use by another program" during compaction, thus forcing me to abandon the process. Accordingly, the application of compaction returns soon after another a few uses of the ENP.  Any help to get rid of this repeated error greatly appreciated.

    In the main screen of OE: file | New | Folder and the other will be done in the tree of folders under the drafts folder. Move messages here.
     
    But do you really need all the messages sent to all? I only keep a few days in case I need to confirm something and then they are deleted. I don't need nostalgia :)
  • Ask for advice about stocks to avoid the cracking of new Z3 Compact auto

    Hello
    I almost bought compact Z3,
    but by chance, I checked many reviews talking about problems of back and front, and this screen cracking is not a problem, but many,
    I want to give me advice
    What can I do to prevent that from happening?
    and why is it happening?
    And Sony has announced or discussed this issue, or not?

    In particular, I bought my phone from Egypt to the outside, so did import no warranty for phones in my country + expensive spare parts + the guarantee itself does not include this case, because most of the users said.
    Note: I already sent a message to the Sony Support Center and they ONLY replied with details of authorized service centers and warranty of phone. (No real answer)
    Kind regards
    Thank you

    @Mo_Al

    The vast majority of the users that post here have any questions or problems, so you will not find an objective take on the durability of the phone, as if you check apple, samsung, lg, htc, forums etc, you will find similar positions. That said, there is no such thing as the cracking of the screens, or let users drop their phones, sitting on them, hit, etc., but they have not noticed the crack until at least assuming that when they hit their phones he had no damage and bam, out of nowhere, there's a crack, you can check messages and some users have uploaded photos of their screens 'cracked Self. " You can see the point of impact on them.

    Error Message recd is "the password of user xxxxxx sending has failed. "Mail server pop.gmail.com replied: Internet connection required: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/787754. I went to this URL several times and went through each suggestion proposed, but unfortunately, Tbird was still cannot access my Gmail messages. Gmail asked me to change my password that some apparent bad connections took place. I met and changed my password. At this time, Tbird is only access my mails several accounts Yahoo - BUT NOT OF GMAIL! I can easily access my Gmail account via a web connection to Gmail with my new password. The hard problem for a week now... TBird asks me to enter my password (new) what I'm doing, but it can still access Gmail!

    TBird has a password repository that needs to be updated?

    I don't know if the problem is with Tbird or Gmail - but two applications do not seem to work as they did in the past.

    Search eagerly what to do to have Tbird as it has for many years.

    I am pleased to say that the use of the "less secure app" option in
    Gmail enabled Tbird again to access and download my Gmail messages without a hitch.

    A big thank you to all who took the time to offer help to solve this problem.

    I do, however, wonder why Thunderbird can not be transformed into a more secure with all up-to-day-protection possible application in order to avoid problems for its users in the first place. But that is another issue, isn't it?

    Once again, my sincere thanks to all who helped me.

    TBird asked me if I want to have a new email... I answered without... to use the existing. Now he wants me
    to type my password... have not entered any years that seems. How should I proceed?

    The password is your password by e-mail. It's between you and your email provider. You will need to work with them to reset a forgotten password.
    Go to the suppliers email help page and look for a link to reset your password.
