Attachment: Screenshot from 2024-12-15 17-18-35.png

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:128.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/128.0

Steps to reproduce:

NOTE: first time I have compacted under 128.5 ... did not have this problem in 128.4

See attached screenshot:

1. Click on upper level folder [e-mail]
2. Click File->CompactFolders

Actual results:

Got an error pop-up on folder '[Gmail]/Trash on [e-mail]'

NOTE: prior to compacting I had emptied Trash and confirmed there was nothing in [Gmail]/Trash or my local Trash folder (using imap and not pop3)

Expected results:

No error pop-up as it always used to compact
