Bearing in mind that this is on your POC laptop and we can always blame the beer, perhaps you could offer some more info:
- OS? - Hardware? - Disk space? Free? Last time you tested the disk? Defragged? - Version of TB? - Have you checked the Thunderbird support site? - What have you tried? - How is it configured? What kind of email account(s)? POP/IMAP? - Do you have access to the email account through a web interface? Does the sent folder show there? - Anything else you might think is useful (like compacting!) If I were you, I would NOT try compacting your folders while you're on a train with unreliable power and a bad battery! That's just asking for trouble. You're a lot more likely to have success if you: - Make a COMPLETE BACKUP of T-bird and it's storage folders before beginning - Expect the compacting to take ALL WEEKEND - Start the machine off, and LEAVE IT ALONE Imagine the worlds slowest PACK. That's about what you're witnessing. OTOH, if you feel like hacking a bit, T-bird stores in SQLite3 tables, iirc, and you can have all sorts of fun poking around in there.
