mbox.ev-summary didn't change because "hey, we don't have any mail and thus no need to write the summary to disk" and so the file was left alone. mbox.ibex never ever ever shrinks in 1.0.x. this is an optimisation because odds are, another message will be added that will use the same words so we didn't remove words even if no messages contained them from the mbox.ibex files. It was also really expensive to remove stuff from that file so we didn't bother. You can always just rm -f it and it will be regenerated (possibly smaller). 1.2.0 will have a much improved body indexer that will auto-shrunk itself, so this won't be a problem in the future.
