For my previous reply I had tested it for a POP3 account, but now I
tested it for an IMAP account (Inbox for my GMail account) and 'Purge
and compact' still works as advertised.
Only odd thing is that when TB is compacting only in stead of tellig
me how much space has been saved, it tells me that there's nothing to
compact. Somewhat confusing.
