Agreed. And I like that. Empty trash deletes the mail from the server
(in my case, I use POP mail, keeping messages at server, delete messages
on server when deleted from local machine).
But why should it also compact the folder? Compacting folders is a
separate option and should be kept that way. Leave it to me when to
compact. I don't like the fact that everytime I empty trash, Mozilla
compacts my 8MB+ Inbox file. Waste of time.
This "feature" started appearing in recent builds. This wasn't the
behaviour before. What changed it? Know of any bug nos?
