Why do you want to stop it??

When you receive an e-mail in SM, it is written into your inbox. If you 
delete it, it is removed from your view, but if you were to open your 
inbox folder in a text editor, you would still be able to see the 
deleted e-mail in the file. If you receive another e-mail, it gets 
added to your inbox, so the file just keeps getting bigger and bigger 
until you compact your folders.


So, IMHO, being reminded to compact your folders is a good thing.

However, if you do really want to turn it off, have a look at 
Edit-Preferences-Network and Storage and de-select Disk Space.
