I noticed that when I have newsgroup MSF index files from sometime ago,
and if there are a lot of expired articles / messages in the newsgroup
MSF index, and then I click the link displayed in an expired message to
delete all the expired articles, the MSF index file does not appear to
be compacted as in a mail file would, if the mail file was compacted.
But instead, the MSF index file size actually bloats after expired
articles are removed. Then, when more new newsgroup headers are
downloaded the MSF file size increases further.
Is anyone aware of whether there is a compact function for MSF files or
is the only way to compact them simply to delete the MSF file while
Seamonkey is not running, then restart SM and access the newsgroup to
completely re-download all current headers? I have been using the latter
procedure to reduce MSF file sizes in my newsgroup folders.
Also, I noticed that MSF and DAT files for UNSUBSCRIBED newsgroups are
not deleted by Seamonkey and again I have to delete them manually. Is
this by design or it is an issue that will be addressed by future SM
releases?
Right click on a folder, and select Properties. Click on Rebuild index.
That will rebuild the MSF file.
Data for removed mail and news accounts is not automatically removed, in
case you want to recover the data. If you are sure that you do not need
it, you can remove it manually.
There is Thunderbird extension, Thunderplunger, that will do this for
you, maybe someone will port it to SeaMonkey,.
