> Why do think that 'Purge and compact' does less than 'Compact'? In an IMAP folder if you have deleted messages, when you compact the folder they are removed. If you Purge and Compact them they are not removed. Try it by turning on Folder/Browse Deleted Messages and you will see any messages that have been deleted with a stick through them.Then try Purging, and then try compacting. -- Best regards, Stuart mailto:skcu...@fastmail.fm ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 5.0.0.126 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
