Please don't give such false advice, especially if it results in data loss without any undo possibility. The Empty Trash command actually includes a Compact Folder call.When did this action change?? Perhaps we users should have had it drawn to our attention!!As Beauregard already noted, what you wrote is probably true if read exactly. Empty Trash does in fact not touch the Inbox, only the Trash folder. For the latter it includes a Compact Folder call. [It didn't appear to me that anyone could think that Empty Trash would affect other folders.] HTH Jens
...so...Empty Trash actually *does/should* reduce the size of the Inbox because the user has moved the files to the Trash so they no longer reside in the Inbox, and the Trash Compacts on Empty.
If it doesn't work that way, it should! That would be what one would expect.
