Since the latest Thunderbird update I keep getting a message offering to purge all my deleted messages from the disc.

I cannot "not see this message again".

The only options are to cancel, proceed or automatically purge deleted messages.

How can I cancel this message

PS Choosing the "cancel" option only turns it off temporarily. It bounces up again the next time I hit the "delete" button
