When using mbox, deleting a message by marking it deleted and then hiding it is *much* faster than actually moving it to the Trash. That's why there is the need to compact folders. Actually, though, I'm very surprised that Icedove does not compact on exit. > Two different things from a user's point of view, deleting a message and > compacting a database. Too true. When using Evolution & IMAP, emptying the trash and compacting folders are similar but not exact, and don't (well, didn't: I now use Icedove) act the way I would expect. But it compacts folders on exit! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF0qndS9HxQb37XmcRAp3rAJ0XLm/qYBXf0F0ijD+gQxfGE54n7ACeNiY/ GJfetbgW8XFZ1FEgGCoJDbI= =RFwT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
