 I now notice, the Keep messages in base for x days and
 purge/compress options only remove *read* messages... Can anybody
 confirm this?

Yes. It's a new feature. You can change the behaviour under Account |
Properties | Mail management | Deletion, look for Purge Unread
messages near the bottom. For individual folders or common folders,
check the Deletion tab of folder properties.

Can this have been your problem all the time? Shame on us for not asking
you whether the messages were read or unread. On the other hand, your
strange experience with VFs but not actual folders decreasing their
count indicates something really was wrong.

So, are you back on track now?

Hmmmh, is it automatically enabled? If not, I guess TB! took it from
the backup...

All my accounts show this feature as enabled.

Was it introduced in any of the v2.12.xx betas?

It was enabled.

But now all folders are purged as they should. :)

I guess the complete fresh reinstall (not just copying over) fixed
something...

I'm not sure, but I think so. This feature was introduced somewhere in
the 2.x series, it's been there long enough for me to forget when it was
introduced and whether it was automatically enabled or not.

 Was it introduced in any of the v2.12.xx betas?

I'm pretty sure it's even older, but you upgraded from 2.12.03 and had
not seen it, right? I was running 2.12.00 until about a month ago and
I'm sure I've seen this feature for longer then that, probably it was
introduced earlier but not enabled for you.

 But now all folders are purged as they should. :)

Good to here!
