Interesting...
I routinely empty my trash folders, and I also am pretty deliberate
about manually compacting individual folders, if I've done a lot of
shuffling of messages (or deleting attachments).
My initial inclination was to dismiss this suggestion. However, I did
did take this advice, and did a general compaction of folders, and this
morning, I'm noticing far less performance lags, than before. There's
still a little there, but the annoyance level is far lower.
One other thing that I've thought of, is that the profile that I'm
working from dates all the way back to Netscape Suite, maybe even version 4.
Thus, over a lot of years, there's a lot of cruft that has built up in
the prefs.js file -- not just stuff that can be cleared with Safe Mode,
but junk like definitions of old printers that are long gone.
I have contemplated the idea of a full rebuild of the profile from
scratch. It's easy enough to reset most of my prefs (including in
extensions) by hand and transfer user data, including mail store,
address book, server configs, bookmarks, etc., although I'm not
super-eager to have to rebuild all my mail-handling rules.
