Problems associated with deleting or moving email usually stem from failure to compact mail
folders, especially inboxes. This is because deleted email is not removed from the application until you compact (expunge is the technical term). This can be done automatically by a setting in your email account. Manually is simple enough. On any mail folder do this: right click/compact (or File/Compact Folders). This is especially important on inboxes but also, any folder from which you regularly delete/move email. If you are experiencing problems you probably have a lot of uncompacted mail so be patient the first time and watch the activity bar for its status (at the bottom of the application).

For some time, I can't delete any message or move it to another place without restart Thunderbird. When TDB is restarted, it works well some time (less than one half a day) then this issue comes back. All garbages are empty and directories compacted. Junk mails has been removed and their directories emptied-compacted. Auto compact is set to 50k. I tried : - copy Mail directory then work on the copy after restart TDB - remove all Mail/*.msf in one of my email box. They've been well recreated at restart. jsconsole shows 2 errors but they seems not to be linked with that issue : - the first one is referenced by bug #672559 : Error: [Exception...
