hello,
just seen the warning window about low disk space in my /home file
system (nice introduction in F12 I presume...)
After searching what has been growing I found this in
/home/gcecchi/.thunderbird/pe1wv5qu.default/ImapMail/myimapaccount
# ll INBOX
-rw------- 1 gcecchi gcecchi 22878721204 2009-12-14 16:40 INBOX
almost 23Gb!!!!!!
This is an imap account against an Exchange 2007 server.
In inbox I have less than 1000 messages where less than 10 are more
than 1Mb in size......
So I'm questioning fron where this big size arrives.....
More strangely, I have a mail with 11Mb of size in INBOX.
I delete it and suddenly INBOX size increases of about 14.7Mb!!!!
And in the mean time I have received no mail at all....

Any hint on thunderbird 3 settings?
Thanks,
