I set the properties to purge unread messages as you suggested, but it made no difference, perhaps because they're common folders. I never had this problem before, but obviously it's been growing on me for six months or so until I realized some folders had way too many messages. -- Rick Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Something strange seems to be happening. I've set account and folder properties as suggested uniformly across the folders I want purged. Some folders were purged after running folder maintenance but others were not. I then changed the settings on one from purging those in excess of 180 days to a maximum number of messages, and it worked. I then did that for a second folder and it didn't. I've consistently used betas after they've been out for a day or two, and am now using the latest release. Given that this has obviously been a problem for quite awhile, is there any possibility it was a bug from an older beta that continues to sit there after subsequent upgrades? -- Thanks, Rick Current version is 3.71.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

But even after putting the focus back on the folder manually, then hitting Ctrl-, nothing. No movement of anything, anywhere.

No, as Karin put it, purge and compress are two different things.
It's just in TB you can't do Purging without compression. The "Purge
all folders" command under the Folder menu does do compression,
which should be renamed to "Purge AND COMPRESS all folders". The one
for a single folder ("Purge and Compress") is clear.
The Compress and Compress All Folders commands, OTOH, don't purge.
It seems that when I compress all folders, it purges. To test, I
compressed all folders, then deleted a message. I compressed, and
recovered an amount of space similar to the size of the message. When
I purged all folders, there was nothing to purge.

Re[2]: Purging
tracer wrote: dMb Is there anyway to prevent purging of unread messages? I looked dMb around but couldn't find the setting. The way I handle my incoming mail and I am sure it can be improved, is to make all or most regular incomings a filter so they go to their boxes and my INBOX is slipped through spam and relatively rarely occuring or repeating msgs I seem to get about 400 mails per day this week but my inbox maybe has 5-10. I handle my mail pretty much the same way. Still, I don't get to read all mail in all folders every day. As a list admin, I usually give priority to certain folders. OTOH, on a daily basis, I purge and compress the "busy" folders. I won't be able to do that until I'm sure I've read everything that _might_ get purged. Seems to me that this should/could be a feature request. I know it exists in many other readers (unread messages don't get purged). Thanks for the feedback.

From my understanding PS the Received time is the time in the first line of each message (the PS one starting with "From "). But when importing MSG files (one PS message = one file) TB! should offer your method as an option PS (probably the default instead of using the actual time) What Alex suggests is in my understanding showing the "received" time as stamped by the pop server. TB, on the other hand, uses the time when it (TB) receives the mail. Thus, it is currently quite consistent - if annoying. So, when importing mail, and only then, this option might make sense: compromising consistency for usability.
