Your inbox is actually a file on your hard drive, and each e-mail

I'm assuming each message is it's own file/structure...

The structure of each inbox message (which is just its headers and body
text*) is within a single file;  that's a key in
understanding how moving/deletion and compacting work, which is why I
mentioned it in my first sentence in this thread. ;)

but now that I look through my Profile structure that seems not to be
the case.

It doesn't matter to me really just what SM does - it's just a
surprise, as my primary e-mail client - Mac Mail - doesn't structure
this way. Each message is an individual file.

That's a newer way of doing it.  There was work going on to add support
for doing it that way to Thunderbird (and so I assume to SeaMonkey),
and maybe that will continue.


I'd be perfectly satisfied with an option to Compact all folders on exit Mail/close session - like selections for clearing Private Data. That would be easier for the team to include, and take care of the job in a more comprehensible manner.
