    Welcome to WindowsBBS :)

    What is your email client - Outlook Express, Outlook , .....?

    I have moved your thread to the Microsoft Mail forum where it belongs :)

    Firefox is not an email client - it is a browser - are you using Thunderbird?

    Mozilla Firefox is a Web browser, not an email client. One can access Web mail using a Web browser. Thus, if use only Web mail, such as gmail or yahoo or from your Internet provider, then you don't need to compact your email folders because the folders exist on the Web mail provider's computer, not yours.

    Mozilla does make an email client called Thunderbird...File menu > compact folders.
