In my experience, when Thunderbird does a compact operation, it does save space. Right click on folder, choose compact.
5599325 on imap.telefonica-4.net/INBOX 4696026 after 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?
I may, for instance, move emails from ISP to local folders (handled by dovecot)
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.
