How do I expunge old deleted email? It seems that the mailbox grows and grows but it no longer contracts (it did so at the beginning, but now the file size is near 300MB and it never contracts).

I am running imap-2007e on Solaris 2.8, and users are using Thunderbird on Windows XP and Vista PCs.

When I attempt to expunge using prune, only the current items in the Deleted folder get removed, not the old, invisible mail messages:

$ mailutil prune -u haral INBOX \Deleted
3 message(s) purged

$ mailutil prune -u haral INBOX "before 1-jan-2007"
No matching messages, so nothing purged

Thanks

-- Haral
