Maybe. I'm not sure. In addition to sent (and automatically deleted)
messages, there are also manually deleted messages in the Outbox,
just as any other folder. Auto-compression would purge those
messages as well. It might be what the user wants, but it might not
be. The best solution, as has been suggested before, is a place for
the user to set the default properties for all the folders.
On second thought, though, I do set the Outbox to be compressed on
exit, while I don't do that for any other folder for an extra layer
of safety. So maybe it should be set as such by default for the
Outbox.
