Yes, they aren't _really_ deleted. Anyone can use file manager capable
to view binary files properly and take a look at some small messages.tbb
file directly to become convinced with this fact.

According to the readme.txt file included with TB! this command have
been introduced in 1.42 - the version you're actually using.

No.

The option Compress the Folder is in On Exit block so it is activated
actually when TB! is in shutdown phase.

No.

Yes.

DH> 5).- Would someone briefly define whether "purge all" is purge AND

It is "purge and compress", IIRC. The corresponding menu command is in
a slight error.

DH>      Or does purge only relate to time limited folders?

If you've set time-to-live for some folders, yes. If you're using Purge
All command then, um, no :-)
