Here's the error message:

The folder "Inbox on tomhelm@sonic.net" could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I think I have enough disk space. But how do I verify that I have write privileges to the file system?

If that is the only error you are receiving and there are no other problems then it's not a real problem for you and you may ignore it for a couple weeks until the fix is shipped.
