Rufus, I hope you remember that emptying trash *doesn't* actually

They are not actually deleted until you compact your files!!
Wrong (just checked). Please don't give such false advice, especially if
it results in data loss without any undo possibility. The Empty Trash
command actually includes a Compact Folder call.
Daniel said emptying Trash doesn't delete the email from the Inbox. I
believe his statement to be true. The only way to remove an email from
Inbox that was moved to Trash is to compact the Inbox. He was not
addressing what happens in Trash.
Jens used the singular "Compact Folder" -- if that was intentional, then
only the Trash would be compacted. But if he meant to use the plural,
"Compact Folders" would compact all folders in the account, including
Inbox, and his comment would be relevant.
