Inbox folder size on disk too big
Dear Support,
suddenly my INBOX file has a size of 480GB - the mails in all my IMAP folders online is less than 4GB.
How can that happen?
Is there a fix or should I just re-create the account?
Best wishes, Johannes

Thanks for the tip. I couldn't compress, because of to less disk space remaining.
Meanwhile, my first approach to set the files local to a 180 days and deleting some bigger mails somehow did the job.

First, I suggest looking in File Explorer to verify that the inbox itself is that size, and not a combination of files. I mention this because sometimes users report a large size when, in fact, it is multiple temporary files from failed compactions. Normally, compacting the file works. If you exit TB and delete the inbox & inbox.msf, thunderbird will repopulate it on restart. No need to recreate the account.
