Check Preferences/Mail&Newsgroups/Network&Storage and look at
your
settings for Disk Space. Either uncheck the option, or set it to
something "reasonable".
I have my setting at 20 MB (which seems a bit low, now that I think
about it) and I hardly ever see a prompt to Compact; same setup as
you -
iMac running 10.6.8.

Rufus,
Thanks for the email. I just de-selected the option and that may have
done the trick. The setting was already at 20MB and that wasn't
resolving it.
Hope that will work out for you.
I don't know why I've left mine at the seeming default - something like
500-750 MB seems a better choice. Maybe I don't see requests because I
always mark my headers "read" at the end of each session?
20 Mb, golly gosh!!
I'm on Linux, so that might account for the difference, but in
Edit->Preferences->Mail & Newsgroups->Network & Storage, I've got Disk
Space, Compact folders when it will save over 1 MB!!
Don't know how big a mail folder has to be in order to possibly save 1
MB, but a 20 MB mail file looks a bit large, IMHO!!
Mine is set at 500 MB, which is only a few hundred emails when some
contain up to 10 MB of attachments. If it compacted for only 20 mb, it'd
be compacting hourly.
Wow!! My whole mail profile is only 30.9MB, with the inbox being 15.7MB.
