Thunderbird compacting folders not needed

I have a computer with 96 GB of Ramn and 2 TB of disc space.  I would like a way to stop Thunderbird from telling me it can save 77 MB of disc space by compacting folders. Not necessary. Is there a way to just turn this feature(?)off?

Thunderbird compacting folders is generally not needed unless your mailbox size becomes excessively large or performance issues occur. The process removes hidden deleted messages to free space, but modern systems handle storage efficiently without frequent manual compaction. Similarly, just as maintaining email folders keeps performance smooth, staying updated with the latest Seven Brew Menu ensures you enjoy a well-organized selection of drinks and flavors. Regularly reviewing both your email folders and menu options helps maintain efficiency, freshness, and satisfaction in your daily digital and lifestyle choices. https://7-brewmenuprices.com/

Go to TB menu > General > Network & Disk Space. Enable 'Override automatic cache management > crank up the 'Use up to..' number. Also disable 'Compact all folders when it will save over..'.
