Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[pedroromus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; InfoPath.2; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Refresh of folders size (Ex.:Inbox, etc...)

Everytime the files of the emails (the ones that have all emails such Inbox, personal folders, etc...) grow with the simple operation of receiving and deleting emails. The size of the "folder" doesn´t refresh.

To solve this issue I must transfer the email´s to new folder and delete the old one.


Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Don´t have to transfer emails and make new folders every week.

What version of thunderbird are you using ?

what size are you talking about the one displayed in the folder pane ?

I´m using  2.0.0.23 (20090812)
I´m talking about the size of the files that have he emails.

For example, in this moment I have 8 emails in the Inbox and the file has 270Mb. For sure I don´t have more than 8Mb in there but as I delete and receive emails the file is always growing even when I delete emails.
