Suggestion: Thunderbird does local compacation of the mailstor, and deletio=
ns=20
that hit the threshold and trigger this may be slower than others.

(I have a vague sense thunderbird does this; I could be wrong. Assuming the=
=20
server is using Maildir I don't see why this should happen on the serversid=
e,=20
nor have I had that experience even with large folders (large enough that n=
o=20
mail client can handle them properly)).
