"The folder Inbox is full and can't hold any more messages"

 

* Thunderbird stores messages using the MBOX file format. (4 GB size limit)

* original message is simply marked for deletion and hidden from view.

解決方案

1. Create a new sub-folder under Local Folders.
2. Move all of the messages currently in your Inbox to that new subfolder.
3. Compact the Inbox after those messages are copied in.

Compaction:

選那 Oversize 的 mailbox -> 選 menu 的 File -> Compact Folders
