OSX 10.6.8, SM 2.12.1
In Mail, it asks me if I want to "Compact Folders" several times a day.
I said "yes" the first few times, but this is getting really annoying.
... Is there some setting ......
I use SM on my Macs and I have my Pref set to ask to Compact when it
will save 10 MB...and I about *never* get prompted to Compact Folders,
not even after update to 2.12.1.
What I would look at is your settings for your individual Accounts for
Synchronization and Storage - I keep only the most recent 300 messages
and remove bodies from messages more than 1 day old. I also have my
Trash set to empty on exit, and automatically remove Junk after one day.
Thanks Rufus.
I see now the Synchronization and Storage for my News account, and the
equivalent Disk Space setting for my two mail accounts.
When it says "delete after XXXX days"....; I hope that just means,
"delete from the Trash folder".
Is that correct?
GW
I think that means expired headers/message bodies from subscribed
Newsgroups - at least for Newsgroups. As I set my prefs to empty Trash
on exit I never have anything remaining in my Trash to compare and be
certain of that though; the same may be true for Mail. For my Mail
Account I have the Pref set to never delete any messages so I'd think
that I have to delete messages and empty Trash manually, which is what I
want.
The more I learn about what really happens with Compact Folder(s) the
more I really wish there was just a pref setting for "Compact all
Folders on Exit" and be done with the automatic requests altogether.
