Bug Description
Thunderbird automatic folder compacting option (Preferences > Advanced > Network & Disk Space > Compact all...) doesn't seem to be working. With this option enabled, my ~/.thunderbird folder was taking ~30GB and I had to manually click "Compact" on each folder to get it down to 3GB (!).

Steps to reproduce:
Thunderbird automatic folder compacting option (Preferences > Advanced > Network & Disk Space > Compact all...) doesn't seem to be working.
With this option enabled, my ~/.thunderbird folder was taking ~30GB and I had to manually click "Compact" on each folder to get it down to 3GB (!).
Actual results:
Mailbox grows endlessly and is not compatected, even though automatic folder compacting is enabled.
Expected results:
Mailbox is automatically compacted with no need to manually click 'Compact' on each folder.
