I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and it's been a while since I cleaned out my Inbox & Folders. I get about 1200 emails a week, so the clutter is extreme. Yet it is still stable, and now I am waiting to see at what level it falls over. Currently I have 84,544 emails in my Inbox, 131,597 in the Junk Folder,33,718 in Archives, 13,388 in another Inbox, and a whole heap which get deleted when I compact the system.

I reckon compacting it has got rid of another 200,000 or so this year.

I am very impressed, well done guys.
