TB should never compact folders, or even offer a user that option, while downloading messages, and vice versa.

Steps to reproduce:

While first running TB (and thus mail was auto downloading via POP), TB offered to save disk space by compacting folders and I clicked ok.


Actual results:

Some messages were lost.


Expected results:

TB should absolutely prevent this by having each of these operations lock a flag (mutex?) which blocks the other (and also blocks even a prompt suggesting that either be done) until the first one is finished.
perhaps along the lines of bug 439089?
