Rufus, I hope you remember that emptying trash *doesn't* actually
delete the e-mails from your "inbox",
That part is right. :)
it just marks them for deletion and
removes them from your sight.
That part is not right. Emptying the trash will delete messages from
your trash folder, not the inbox, then it will compact the trash
folder, not the inbox.
...so...you're telling me that moving things out of my Inbox does not
actually move them out of my Inbox?
Your inbox is actually a file on your hard drive, and each e-mail
occupies space within that file. Moving an e-mail out of the inbox
does move it to wherever you chose, but the space it occupied in the is
still there in the inbox file; IOW, the inbox file is the same size
even after you delete stuff from the inbox. Compacting the inbox gets
rid of that (now useless) space, reducing the size of the file.
I could see doing that, but setting the file length to zero on Delete -
then Compact deleting the headers(I think there are other things on my
system that do this)...but even that seems like far more effort than
just moving/reallocating the file location to the Trash.
