In compress.c:
mutt_error (_(" %s: Error compressing mailbox! Uncompressed one kept!\n"),
ctx->path);
Is the space before the %s there on purpose?
It is the only mutt_error instance for which the message starts
with a space.
Moreover, sometimes "Can't" is used, sometimes "Cannot":

There should be an error style guide, like:
