I tryed to compact database, keep on disk only latest 90 days email but the sistem started to suffer issues due to no disk space so that I tried to remove that account and instantly more than 250GB of data on disk disappeared. Issue found and fixed but: - Thunderbird should NOT use so much disk space, some cleanup process MUST be implemented to keep disk usage under control, as I wrote system usage is impaired - Is this issue index-related? Since I do a lot of quick search on that account - Is something snap/linux related? Could be found also on Windows/Mac? - If someone needs logs, I'd be happy to provide them but I need instructions about how to retrieve them.
