Sub-folders at capacity

more options

Why is there a limit on how many messages - or maybe it's the total size - can be stored in any given sub-folder? T-bird's message is not enough space, try to empty the trash folder.

I have plenty of disk space, so asking if T-bird has internal limits? I've always kept many messages, so any limitation is disconcerting. I can make more sub-folders, but maybe there's a limit on that as well?

Should I be saving messages in the Archive/Local folders?

Is there a section here for suggestions? I'd like to have an option to have just one Trash folders for all accounts. I'd also like to suggest a shortcut icon to go to next message, since the mouse is already in my hand.

Thunderbird has no effective limits here.

Perhaps share what you are seeing - a screen shot.

Thanks. Next time it happens I'll get a screenshot.
