When you compact a folder, the entire contents of the folder are scanned
and rewritten only if they are not marked as deleted. I assume (but
don't know) that seamonkey rights the visible messages to a new file,
then deletes the old file and gives the new
emptied since the deletion. If you
empty the trash the entire contents are permanently deleted.

That is correct. And IF you do a shift+delete, the message(s) bypass the
trash folder and are gone.

The key here is the compact folder function. If implemented, the
message is gone. Trick is to NOT compact folders either
you mean files or messages?
If messages: If messages that were logically deleted or moved from
a folder really remain after compacting that folder, I have no idea
what's going on. (Are you sure that folder actually got compacted?
Sometimes when I do Compact Folders SeaMonkey only compacts one

Compact folder just cleans up the unused space and re-organizes the folder.

Hi,
It would be nice if Seamonkey Mail had a toolbar button to do Compact

messages marked as deleted).
How shall I submit such a feature request? Unless there's already a way to
create custom buttons
