I long shared some Mail folders between Kmail and Mozilla, and allways 
had problem with deleted messages coming back in the inbox. Now I 
deleted all accounts, created new one from scratch (3 of them) and only 
used mozilla for all my mails (receive and send). Everything looks good 
and works fine so far. BUT I realize that the Inbox is allways 
increasing in size by not deleting deleted messages, but just hiding 
them. Is this a feature or a bug? For example the mailbox I use for 
news, ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is now empty, but the Inbox file is still 
rather big (3MB):
