thunderbird crashes when I delete mail. It says it can't compact mail to trash. It also says check disk space. I have plenty of disk space.

Chosen solution

Is it the disk space of the trash folder? Thunderbird may have a limit of 4 G Byte maximum folder size.

Please try compacting your folders http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.../compacting-what-is-it-and-why-must-i-do.html
