Rufus, I hope you remember that emptying trash *doesn't* actually delete
the e-mails from your "inbox",
That part is right. :)
it just marks them for deletion and
removes them from your sight.
That part is not right. Emptying the trash will delete messages from
your trash folder, not the inbox, then it will compact the trash folder,
not the inbox.
....so...you're telling me that moving things out of my Inbox does not
actually move them out of my Inbox?
I have no idea what people are trying to say about this. Why would I
Empty Trash if I haven't placed something in there in the first place?
And why wouldn't moving something there actually *put* it *there* for
action?
If you select a message in your inbox, and click delete, the message
will be copied over to your trash folder. The version in your inbox will
then be marked as deleted and hidden from view.
Compacting a folder will command SeaMonkey to remove all messages from
that folder that are marked as deleted.
Empty Trash will not only hide all messages in the Trash folder from
view, but also remove them.
* Although it may not technically go through those steps. It seems
easier/faster to just remove all messages in the trash, regardless if
they are marked as deleted or not. It's the same result.
