Did he compact the Trash folder? I wasn't sure from his description
if he'd done that.
In every version of SeaMonkey I've ever had, telling the program to
compact folders has resulted in compaction of all folders within the
selected account, including Trash. But I suppose if he has it set up to
direct deletions to Trash in a different account, compacting the source
account would not affect that Trash folder.
I see that you can now right-click a folder and tell the program to
"compact this folder," but that's new to me. I've always just done File
| Compact Folders and gotten them all in one pass.
I was astonished to read Justin's statement that compacting folders
could take as long as an hour. In my experience, it's never taken more
than about five minutes, and it usually takes less than two. And I'm not
working with some ultrafast multi-CPU machine, but I do have folders
with thousands of messages.
