How do I stop my inbox from auto-compacting?

I've been using Thunderbird for a couple of years now and have always had it set up so that when I delete a message it gets marked as deleted, and then I manually compact the folder when ready.

A few months ago I started to notice that when deleting messages from my inbox they would be marked as read and then after a variable number of seconds they would be removed - as if the folder is auto-compacting itself. Strangely it only seems to be the inbox that is affected - all other folders are working as previously.

I don't remember changing any settings to have caused this change and I've tried unchecking the "Compact all folders..." option in the Disk Space settings but this hasn't made any difference.

Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

See the previous, now archive post about it.

If this option makes emails sent from Thunderbird to any other email client have arbitrary line breaks where the line changes in the view of the composer. Please explain to me like I am 5, why is this ON by default? I just spent hours wording and formatting a work email vital for my career just to find out it will most likely look like a poem to the person that reeds it. This mailnews.wraplength "feature" looks a lot like is there to signal to other non-Thunderbird users to use Thunderbird. I really really hope there is a good explanation for why `mailnews.wraplength` exists and is on by default.

Hi,

ChatGPT is telling me there's not a mute feature on inboxes for Thunderbird and this seems improbable.

Is this accurate? Thunderbird doesn't support muting inboxes?

You know, like all other messaging apps in the world since 2010?

Here's how I do it on Discord: 1. Right click the thing you want to mute 2. Click Mute

Is thunderbird even supported still or am I out of my mind to use it?

How do I get the + sign back on my tabs? After latest update I can only close tabs instead of opening new tab, and I am talking about after opening several tabs. When I have seven tab open, I have to do ctrl+t to open new tab instead of just clicking on the + sign that use to be at end of tabs. Yes, I do use custom settings. This happened before but I was able to fix by going to tabs under about:config, but it seems the setting is no longer there.

I like Ctrl+Shift+B to open the Library (Manage Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks). For maybe two years I was using this, but it stopped working in 117:

https://reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/kilmm2/restore_ctrlshiftb_library_by_setting_configjs/

Dorando keyconfig isn't current. Shortkeys won't even install and probably won't do what I want anyway. AutoHotkey will do it, but I'd rather not use it for this.

Does anyone know how I can get a config.js to open the Library when I hit Ctrl+Shift+B?

I've been plagued from the beginning by the similarity of the terms 'Junk' and 'Trash,' so I figured I'd rename the Junk folder 'Spam.' Right-clicking on the folder suggests this is possible, but when I type in 'Spam,' the folder simply disappears from the list. So I restart Thunderbird and 'Junk' is back on the list. Is it possible to rename this folder, and what is the procedure? Many thanks!
