Whenever I select "compact folder" I can access the messages fine, but I can no
longer download new messages to it (if it's the inbox folder).

Exiting Thunderbird and deleting MSF files seem to correct the problem.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create POP3 account
2. Download some messages
3. Delete some messages from inbox
4. Select "compact folder" in inbox
5. Try to download new messages

Actual Results:  
I was unable to download new messages until I deleted the msf file.

This happened in new profiles as well.

Expected Results:  
Folders should have been compacted.
please upgrade to a newer build - this has been fixed (but thx for the good
report - if this had been the first report filed, I would have been able to fix
this a lot quicker :-) )
