Compacting email
Occasionally upon opening my Thunderbird email program I get the message that Thunderbird needs to compact messages, but when I try to do so I always get a error message that the messages can't be compacted because another program is operating, even though I don't have another program running. So I don't know how to fix the problem. Since installing Thunderbird I don't believe the email has ever been compacted.
Thanks for your help. Nancy

What is your anti-virus software?
I have a new PC and it has a Windows security program. I don't have another antivirus software. Sorry for the delay replying to your question. I couldn't figure out how to answer and then I lost internet for a few days.
Try to start Windows 10 in safe mode with networking enabled.
Does the problem go away?
Windows safe mode disables anti-virus software. This is a troubleshooting step, not a solution.
I have Windows 11, not 10. How would I start 11 in safe mode with networking enabled? I think maybe I need to not pursue this further since I don't seem to have basic knowledge about how to do things with my computer and it's got to be frustrating for anyone trying to help me remotely.
