Hi guys, on my thunderbird postal home page, in the lower right corner, is appeared a red signal about the IMAP storage space. It looks at 97% !!! I've tried to move several messages ( some years) storing them in a Local folders, but I haven't had any reduction in the percentage. What i can do !!!??? Thanks for your help

Presumably you installed an add-on ages ago which is giving you the 97% storage usage warning now. Either disable the add-on or start Thunderbird in safe mode, and see what happens. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird

Thunderbird itself does not have a concept of quota. Storage is basically limited by the capacity of your local disk. If you account is IMAP, your email provider limits the amount of storage available on the server. If you used all your quota on the server, your email provider will notify you.
