Out of curiosity, why would you want to do that? Something to remember is that when you delete messages from a folder (including moving from one folder to another), the content of the first folder is not actually physically deleted until compacting is done, and indexes are rebuilt. Even if compacting doesn't save more than a trivial amount of space, regular compacting is one of Seamonkey's standard maintenance processes. While there may be reason to set the thresholds higher or lower, depending on your needs, I don't suggest eliminating altogether.

By default, SM/TB store messages in the mbox format (one system file per mail "folder") When a message is deleted, for performance reasons, it is only marked as deleted (exactly as some filesystems do). Compacting means rewriting the whole file after actually removing the deleted messages.

No, check box that I see to stop the notification. In my Linux version I have a check in my Compact folders when it will save over XX MB setting, under Edit Preferences Mail and Newsgroups Network and Storage. My setting being 20 MB. Maybe if you deselect that setting, or raise the limit, the warning will go away.

Say Yes. ;-) You can also tweak the frequency here: Edit | Preferences | Mail Newsgroups | Networking Storage [x] Compact folders when it will save over 00 MB (default is 20) Or you can turn it off entirely by unchecking the box (not recommended). -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.

Compact the folders. file compact folders If that doesn't clear it up then compact the folders individually: For each folder - right click on the folder and compact this folder. Starting with your INBOX. If you have nested folders then compact the main folder and each of the nested folders. If that isn't enough, then: For each folder - right click on the folder choose properties and then repair folder. Then compress the folder. After that - I'm all out of ideas. -- Rostyk ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
