Answer 1

Deleting and compacting are the two major steps to get rid of this error.

• Firstly, copy all your emails to a new folder
• Then, go to the Tools menu and then choose Account Settings
• After this, select the Server Settings for the account or local folders in case it is a local folder
• Now, you can see a local directory on the right bottom of the screen. You need to click on Browse
• Now, a new window will open, in that window click on the Highlighted Entry followed by a click on Explore. As soon as this is done, windows explorer will open, which is located in the folder where the offending file is situated
• To proceed towards the completion, close Thunderbird by a click on Cancel on all the windows of Thunderbird that are open and then finally on X
• For inbox problem, erase the inbox and inbox MSF files. Substitute the name of the folder here that is causing the trouble.
• Now, restart the Thunderbird applications after the completion of all the steps.
