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.
