Felix, it is my understanding that you are wasting your time compacting
your profile if you haven't, first, deleted the rubbish you want to get
rid of.
Looks to me like you need to reread what I wrote. What makes you think I ever
compact without first deleting something?
Deleting an e-mail really just marks the e-mail for deletion,
Duh.
it is not
actually removed from your inbox file until it is marked for deletion
and then the file is compacted. If an e-mail is not first marked for
deletion, after the compaction it will remain (hidden) in your inbox file.
If it was up to me, delete would always mean delete rather than hide,
regardless of context. Delete that increases disk consumption by even one bit
is not deletion, it's a lie. Compaction would never be a separate menu item
or process.
[re: Geckos] I keep 5 of them open spread across 8 virtual desktops
in the same DE 24/7, save for daily restarts and backups of the profile
used for email.
How can you say you have your DE up 24/7 when you then say you re-boot
daily?? Almost by definition, then, the most you have is up for 24 hours!
AU English must be more different from US than I thought, that or plenty of
after dinner cocktails before reading newsgroups. :-p Again I think you need
to reread.

Restarting above refers to closing one Gecko instance for the purpose of
backing it up without any of its files open, immediately followed by starting
it back up. it's a quick process, as each profile dir's cache dir is always
empty.
