Empty Trash/Compact driving me crazy - "The messages could not be moved or copied to folder xxxxx because writing to folder failed. To gain disk space, from the file menu, first choose Empty Trash, and then choose Compact Folders, and then try again."
I'm in the process of cleaning up Thunderbird e-mail before moving to a new computer. I started with 11,593 e-mails in my Inbox and 7,799 e-mails in my Sent folder. I'm now down to 7,634 in my Inbox and 4,965 in my Sent folder. I've allocated 2 weeks for this process and found that it's taking me about 3 hours per day to meet my daily goals. I'm finding that I'm spending at LEAST half the time responding to "Empty-Trash/Compact-folders" requests. There are times I can delete 50 e-mails at a time without getting a request. Other times I will try to delete ten e-mails and get the request. With the old version of Thunderbird I could literally delete hundreds of e-mails at a time. Can you help? Russ Bukwa Yardley, PA ps. I have intentionally given you specific numbers. Based on my software- and test-engineering experience, I speculate you need to create a stress test to solve this nagging problem.

Wayne, I broke the code. I can now see my idea. It's at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/bookmark-name-for-idea-search-url/idi-p/99730. I've attached an image of the bookmark (highlighted) name I'm suggesting be changed. Also, I can't seem to find my user-id anywhere, or is that "newdayrj" ?
