Why folder compact error? "The folder 'Inbox on email@domain.com 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."

Several times a day, TB pops up a message box with the following...

The folder 'Inbox on email@domain.com 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 have a few accounts in TB, and it does this for all of them, but at seemingly random times.

Everything seems to work, it's just annoying to have these messages pop up.

I have 0.9Tb free space on the disk, so I don't think it's a lack of space! I also have admin rights to the file system, so that's not it either.

Anyone any idea why I get this? Thanks

It is a false alarm that will be resolved in the next month.

OK thanks, I'll hang on and see if it goes away.

Please post to give us your current status and version number.

We had a bug which was fixed in 140.2.1esr (and release 142) - Bug 1959858 - Error message compacting non-empty folder - "The folder 'Inbox on something@xxxx.yyy' 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."

Wayne - I had forgotten completely about this, which means it must have been fixed!

I'm on version 140.6.0esr (64-bit)

Thanks
