Oh... good :-) > I'll bet I can recreate that.. every...time.. You can set "auto-compact" your folders by defining so under Preferences/ advanced/network and disk space. "Compacting" is another of the annoyances of Thunderbird but is a "must- do" task (if you avoid doing so your mailbox files will grow, and grow and grow... because deleted e-mails are not really deteleted until you - maually or automatically- hit the "compact" button). And that remembers me the third of the Thunderbird's annoyances: storage files for each folder cannot go beyong 4 GiB).
