Thunderbird Automatic compaction

It does not appear that there is anyway I can get Thunderbird to 
automatically compact itself on start up or with Epunge.

Is there a command code that can be sent to Thunderbird to make it 
compact itself? Without that compaction I cannot receive any emails into 
that QI Inbox.

Also, is there a way with WPX3 macro code to get focus (a click on the 
Local Folder subfolder) to a specific subfolder like a Left click on the 
folder name does?

SendKeys() should do it for you.  You will need to be sure that you have 
the proper focus first though.  Focus and timing are the keys to using 
Sendkeys() in the most reliable way.

When Thunderbird first opens, SendKeys{"{Shift+Tab}") will set the
focus 
to the mail folder pane typically.

If your goal is to compact all mail folders, SendKeys("{Alt+F}").

If you just want to compact one folder, it is a bit more work. Use 
SendKeys("Shift+F10") when you are in the folders panel.  You can get

the current folder name by RegionGetWindowText(hWnd).  hWnd may be found 
by Applocate("*Thunderbird").  Send the up or down keys to navigate
the 
folders.
