I would like to keep the size of my email folder from getting too big as the years go by. My plan is to have different folders for different groups of years. I created a new profile and deleted the emails from other years to just keep one group of years in the profile. Then I compacted folders, closed the profile, closed Thunderbird and looked at the size of the profiles in Windows 10. It showed very little difference in the size of the profile with a large number of emails deleted. I tried compacting each folder separately and still the size is not near proportional to the number of emails. Is it possible to compact the profile properly?
