Wow! Then you must have quite a bit of wasted space there then.
I have compression set on any folder from which messages are filtered
and from which messages are regularly deleted. The Inbox, Trash and
Outbox are therefore included. Once a message passes through the
folder, it's added to that folders message base and is not truly
deleted unless the folder is compressed. Only my archive folders are
not compressed because I only add mail to those folders.
I've been doing this since I installed TB! 2 years ago. No mail lost.
Same installation going.
BTW, AFAIK, you're not really *compressing* in the true sense of the
word. You're just deleting messages that aren't indexed (i.e., not
deleted). For instance, if I try to compress one of my archive
folders, an immediate message appears that no compression was done and
0 bytes were saved.
However, I just did a purge and compress on my Inbox folder which has
been empty since I last started TB! and recovered 688KB of space.
I just recovered 54KB of space from my outbox which is also empty.
[..rest snipped..]
