Thunderbird keeps continually telling me it wants to compact the mails storage for what is a trivial amount of space, Is there a way to make it use a reasonable size to do the prompt?
I don't use Thunderbird, but is this a POP account being stored in Mbox format? If you want to keep using POP, a better alternative is to keep your mail in Maildir format (which I assume TB supports). That never needs compacting.
The compacting is for the local storage. Maildir is server-side behind the mail server.
