Hi. Should I do anything about my Thunderbird IMAP quota being 87% full? If so what can I do, please? The Message element is only 7% full but Storage is 87% full - 1.8 GB / 2.0 GB. I do not know what Storage comprises. I have quite a few Local Folders but very few of them contain more than one email. Thanks, Peter

This info would apply to your online storage, notably your INBOX and SENT folders, plus any others attached to them. Your Local Folders are on your PC and exempt from that tally. You may get a better perspective by logging onto the online account to review folders there.
