In my experience, when Thunderbird does a compact operation, it does save space. Right click on folder, choose compact.

yes it does, but WHAT does it compact?
As I understand it, it compacts the files you have marked for deletion.
mails, not files.
Yes, the individual messages.. My typo.
And no, I did not delete or mark for delete any emails myself.
Then I'm further co fused. What mechanism ... oh wait, are you using filters?
If you have saved local files because you mistakenly clicked the check-box when creating that IMAP account and have a pole of locally saved messages and then unclick that check-box, it does not seem to remove the locally saved files.
I repeat that.
This is not about storing mails for archival.
No, I made that point to contrast between TB downloading the message automagically because of that bloody check-box setting and messages that you makes the explicitly decision to *manually* download. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
