Do you tell me, that if I just delete one email from a folder, and do a compact, it will shrink then ?.
Not exactly. After you both delete mail from a folder and subsequently empty the trash, then compacting will shrink the original folder the email was deleted from.
Isn't the trash a separate folder (mail file)? I think it is and if so, then the original mailbox form which the message was deleted now has the space that message occupies marked as unused and it will indeed be reclaimed when that folder is compressed.
Depends on the mail client. I think by default evolution will only mark the message as trash not actually move it there. There is a setting to hide deleted messages. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 "The day Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck is probably the day they start making vacuum cleaners." -Ernst Jan Plugge
