Do you purge and compress your folders regularly?

In terms of deleting unduplicated mail ... I doubt it.

TB! uses message ID's to detect duplicated messages. If two messages
share the same ID's, then one is deleted. This is a more foolproof
method than message size.
This is the ID for your message:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
^^^^^^^^^^
This is random
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This is the date and time the message was created down to
the nearest second!!

I'm quite confident about it as is. How likely is it that two TB!
messages will have the same Id?:-) If you look at the format of other
message ID's for none TB! users, you'll see that it's very unlikely that
e-mail message ID's could be duplicated.
