Thunderbird keeps trying to compact with unrealistic space savings
I know that I periodically need to compact my Thunderbird and I do that frequently. However, after I finish compacting Thunderbird will ask me again to compact it (maybe a couple of hours or a day later). For example, I receive a message that compacting will save 500 Mb of space, I compact it and a few hours later I receive a message saying that Thunderbird needs compacting and will save around 300 Mb of space. It seems that those "300 Mb" are always there and Thunderbird is unable to compact them. (hope my question was clear!). Thanks, Miguel

mmourato, Are you still experiencing this problem?
Yes, unfortunately I am...

Thunderbird itself does not perform the compaction of folders itself. See how much space is left while you're doing this. And the times that you’ve already have compact.

Hello there mmourato.
Another way to compact folders
For IMAP accounts, Thunderbird can automatically compact the Inbox when you exit: click "Tools —> Account Settings —> [account name] Server Settings", and check "Clean up ('Expunge') Inbox on Exit." If you check "Empty Trash on Exit" it will empty and compact the Trash folder when you exit.
