My e-mail inbox shows a high gigabyte use-age rate, but I only have a few messages in there. I get my messages a couple of times per day and delete emails I don't want to keep. Now it will not get all my new messages as it saying I have run out of disk space. It seems that messages I delete don't really get deleted?? even though they go to trash and I clean the trash folder. I have tried compacting but that didn't work. It seems to be only on my win 10 laptop, as my XP computer is working fine. I have plenty of disk space left on the hard drive. Thanks in advance Bob Parkman

Do you compact your Thunderbird accounts? It is a necessary function to complete the deletion of emails and it turned on by default. Generally Thunderbird will compact when it will recover I think 20mb of disk space. But over the years I have seen far to many that have disabled it and then complained about other failures that result.
