Exactly my point :) I don't want to click/wait too long either at program
shutdown. You could set the future option 'compress at shutdown if it
saves > [setting] bytes' to 'disabled' then. I don't mind just a bit
waiting, knowing that it saves me some megabytes in my Inbox.

No dialog boxes, that's why I hinted to the Account Preferences. That is a
dialog box that you conciously have to open. Users apparently don't RTFM,
so the fact that 'compression' is available needs to be pointed out at a
place the users comes to anyway (to set up his mail).

Early on, I had trouble differentiating between 'purge' and 'compress' (at
first glance, they seem to do the same thing), it was only when I took the
trouble to explore a bit more that I discovered the folder-limiting
options in their properties, and thus the usefulness of 'purge'.

If you want to introduce a reminder/calender function in TheBat � la
Outlook, I'd suggest you take a look at the wishlist :)
