 On exit, TB only purges the folders you tell it to purge in the
 folder properties tab.  If you don't have "Remove Old messages"
 checked, your folder will not be purged.

The oldest messages are deleted first.

Purging will delete the old messages as you define in your folder
settings based on message age or folder message storage limitations.

Purging is usually done automatically upon exiting TB! but if you're one
who closes TB! once a month :-), then you will find the purge option
useful.

Hello Nick,


On  Wednesday, August 30, 2000  at  21:37:36 GMT -0700 (which was 9:37 PM

 Purge deletes messages from your folders based on the folder's
 properties.  In other words, if you have a folder that has "Keep
 messages for xx days" and it contains messages older than that, Purge
 will remove them.

 What I'm not sure about is which messages are removed when you have
 "Maximum number of messages" selected...

Purge or Compress?

[Nick Andriash]

Can someone explain how the command "Purge All Folders" differs from
"Compress All Folders"? I know what compressing the Folders does, but not
sure about the Purge command.
