Since the sent messages are copied to the Sent folder, this surprises
me on second thought. They are not, for no reason, needed to remain in
the Outbox, so one would not suspect them to be there. But yo are
right, I just checked, and all messages I ever sent are there, taking
up huge amounts of disk space of course.

I used to that that with all folders and took up to ten minutes. The
purging cannot be cancelled, and if you hit "close" by mistakem, this
also cannot be cancelled. That's why I purge&compress manually.

I just did that too. It's just one folder per account. ;-)

This must be an English expression...
