Sorry, but that makes no sense. The only explanation I can think of is
that the TB version wasn't actually compressed, either because you
forgot to do it or because a bug prevented it from happening.
No, I expressedly asked it to compact the folders. The reason (I think)

One of your two inbox folders is a regular folder. You should be able
to drag the contents of the regular folder into the system folder,
