What is really happening is it is really deleting the mail, and reindexing the files. When you tell TB to delete a file, it flags the file as deleted in an index file (.tbi) and updates the display to hide the 'deleted' mail. When you run the compress/purge (they do the same thing), it takes the 'deleted' mails, and physically removes them from the files, and reindexes what is there. I run it automatically on close as well. I sometimes clean up my folders, and run it, and the report often tells you how much space you saved, mine is often anywhere from a few hundred KB, to a couple of hundred MB. Select your Inbox for an account, and go to Folder - Browse Deleted Messages. TB! has a copy of every mail you deleted/moved/copied since your last purge/compress in there. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQA/AwUBPihfMyuD6BT4/R9zEQLLMgCg2TOSn+E52+P1KWuW0eQpDOYsqg0An0mR vTLfAQpuErmKKUCzFPfGhZ3D =Chse -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
