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.
NAICT you're describing what I wrote (same difference == no difference == disk space consumed by mail folders goes up when you "delete", and down when you compact). -- "Love your neighbor as yourself."
