How to compact all files in 4 TB email folders simultaneously
I have 4 email addresses and therefore 4 TB folders. I would like to compact these folders but don't want to have to go to each folder and then each file to do this. Hence, how can I compact all folders simultaneously?
Any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you!

See this add-on: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/xpunge/
It did not solve the problem because I am told: "This add-on could not be installed because it could not be verified"
Drag the green Download Now button from the web page and drop it onto the TB Add-ons Manager.

I hope these folders and not inboxes. 1T is a lot, even for non-inbox folders. I would advise doing each 1T folder separately, AFTER deleting or moving a lot of messages to other folders.
Also, you realize that the Compact process purpose isnt to compress files?
