Compacting inbox is deleting emails on my server.
Every time I compact my emails on Thunderbird, it deletes a swathe of emails from my inbox and server due to being set up as IMAP. It's a real pain in the ass, I've lost some important emails. Is there any way to compact without this happening? I've looked at a ton of pages already, and none have any answers, figured this would be the place to get some resolution. It's a great email client, I'd like to persist with it, I know there will be something in the advanced config to iron it out, any help is hugely appreciated. I'm running the latest version on Windows 11.
Cheers Neale

The compact operation doesn't delete messages from the imap server, because compact is a local operation on your computer.
